Ugh...I feel your pain. I am afraid to go out as well. I'm not dating anyone, haven't ever actually, but lately I am realizing I don't know what I would do if I did go out on a date. I have the same fear, that I would go to a restaurant where I couldn't eat anything, it doesn't help that I also have to avoid wheat and all follow the IBS guidelines as well.
It is just so frustrating, not being able to freely enjoy sitting a restaurant and letting someone else cook my meals. I cook for myself all the time. And tonight it is my sister's birthday so my family is going out to dinner. I think I am going to eat an early dinner before we actually go, for I am afraid to eat in the restaurant. Plus, the reservation is for 6:30, which is late for me. I am usually eating dinner by 5:30, I know it's only an hour, but I really do like to eat early so I don't feel like I have food stuck in my belly all night.
This is so frustrating!!! It is even difficult for me to travel anymore, for I have to take mostly all my own food and even then I still have to face the questions, why can't you eat this, what are you eating, on and on and on. I don't even know what to do anymore. Somedays I feel like I have to plan my life around IBS and trying to stay on a schedule. It's really rough somedays and even makes me depressed I think. I just hope that once my university starts up again in a few weeks, I can forget a little about struggling with IBS and just focus on becoming an elementary school teacher.
This just really stinks sometimes.
