Hummmm are these realted.... hummmm just wondering

Just venting
So my parents are flying in from Ireland to visit at the end of this month. I have been in a nasty flair this past month and am trying everything I know to get out of it. I am getting a little nervous as my mom tries to be understanding but coming from the land of meat and potatoes she dosen't understand why I am not eating red meat and lots of spuds. (My dad is a beef farmer... do I have to say more). I know she tries and we have had talks about it, but the thought of the eye rolling, and the sighing that I will get when I break out my juicer...... ughhhhhh
I can't wait to see them, but just getting nervous which I know is not helping my crohns right now. Can I just crawl under the covers and stay there? I also know that they want to look around and go different places which for me means .... lost of driving, eating on the go, and doing the 'ohhh please let there be a bathroom at the next stop?"

Ok rant over, for the min.
 
Sounds familiar! My mom's always trying to help me FIX my crohn's by asking me all kinds of questions on things she's heard/read about that's supposed to help heal me...especially all these foods that are supposed to reduce inflammation that she's always asking about. Lisa:ybatty:
 
I went totally Vegan. I use to worry about what my parents thought about what I ate. Now I just do what I want.
If you are going to be on the road a lot then pack a lunch. That is what I would do. Maybe you can explain to your parents that certain foods make you sick and you are happy to see them, but would not enjoy a long trip because you need to be near a bathroom.
Don't push yourself. You need to get well soon.
I wish you all the best.
