weddings are the worst! especially when it's someone close like that who wants you to be involved. I had to go to a wedding shortly after starting the IBS diet and it COMPLETELY stressed me out and I ended up having an attack. Not fun. In situations like that, I often just tell people that I have food allergies and prefer to bring my own food. I think people who don't understand will take "food allergies" more seriously than "IBS". See if you can get a vegetarian, dairy-free meal at the reception (I tell waiters that I have a dairy allergy), and fill up on the white bread! Take lots and lots of tea bags with you and make your own tea. I ALWAYS take tea bags to restaurants and ask for a cup of hot water.

We all know how difficult it is to make family and friends understand what we're going through, and how eating seemingly healthy foods (fruits and veggies) doesn't work for us unless we do it a certain way. You know how different foods make you feel; stand up for yourself! And above all, enjoy the wedding!
