Yes, I can sympathize with you. I have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and while I've learned to pretty much control it my stepdad refuses to believe that it's really a real problem. He just cannot understand why I refuse to eat the foods he fixes that are fried in 15 pounds of lard and coated in butter...it's because my stomach can't handle it, not to mention the fact that it's gross! (And he wonders why he hasn't lost any weight.) He tries to tell me that I don't eat enough fat and that's why my stomach acts up, but that's just not the case...greasy foods are a no-no if you have a problem like mine. Sometimes I just wanna smack him...
