Ruchie, I have NEVER had a loved one (family or friend) be disgusted or frustrated with my restricted diet. For example, I just had dinner at my best friend's house this past weekend. She called me and told me what she was planning on having and said "can you eat this?" (It was make your own tacos with beef or chicken and add your own toppings so it was perfect). Don't be shy about saying No, I can't eat this but then always suggest to bring something that you can eat. Usually, there's at least SOMETHING that I can eat - ie. buns, salad, etc. You will be amazed how wonderful friends and family can be. If they're not - that's their problem not yours.
