This is bothering me SO much: Let me just start off by saying my dad doesn't know I have IBS, I felt too embarrised to tell him because I already have other digestive problems, I didn't want him to think I'm a freak. So the other day he saw a bottle of Benefiber on my night table and got all bent out of shape, asking me why I need fiber, saying that anorexics take laxatives and fiber is a laxative  I tried to explain that fiber is NOT a laxative, but he wouldn't believe me. I ended up saying it was my boyfriend's fiber (he actually does take fiber anyway, so it could have been his!). A couple days later he saw that awhile ago I had bought sweetener with added fiber, and he interogated me again! Since then he keeps having talks with me and even looked through my room the other day while was in the shower! Mind you, I'm almost 25 years old. He got even more upset cause he found prescriptions of Miralax. So now he thinks I'm a lax addict, great. Has anyone else ever got accused of having an eating disorder instead of IBS???
