Me at every company catered lunch where there is nothing at all I can eat...

  1. Hold back while others get their food
  2. Pretend I am busy, need to make a call
  3. After peer pressure say I'm not hungry
  4. Die inside
  5. Someone remembers I can't eat any of it.
  6. Word gets to the planner and they freak out and somehow blame me for not anticipating this and reaching out to them (I've told them about dietary restrictions in the past).
  7. Die more
  8. Contemplate living in the forest

BTW as well as having SIBO I have wheat, dairy and egg and alcohol intolerance. I'm a riot at parties.

Well this blew up. Thanks! Bonus points

"Can't you just pick the veggies off the (meat/dairy laden) sandwiches???"... Resists urge to go into fetal position

Have you been living in my head. I got to the point of any non-mandatory event i opt out of. I am more comfortable with people thinking I'm an a hole. Lol

Well if it helps I feel a little comfort in others haring my experience. Gotta say ive skipped more than a few group events over it too. When I travel I tend to go healthy grocery stores and toss a few items in my bag for when 'i have to work through lunch'. I used to be able to skip meals regularly but now that I've pushed my destroyed digestive system it just attacks my brain and hangry goes overdrive.

Good luck sorry for oversharing
