My In-Laws Forced Me to Eat The Food I Can’t Digest — I Ended Up Embarrassing Myself

Food intolerances can be tough, especially when the family doesn’t get it.

In this story, our reader with a highly sensitive stomach tries to keep the peace at her in-laws’ dinner by eating a small portion of food she usually avoids.

However, even that small bite backfires, leading to an embarrassing situation.

One of our readers dropped us a message.

Thank you for reaching out to us! We understand how uncomfortable this must have been for you, and we hope these tips might help.

Bring your own food.

The next time you’re invited, bring your dishes.

You could even offer to bring enough to share so they can try your food as well.

Let them know in advance that it’s because of your stomach issues, not because you dislike their cooking.

Don’t force yourself to eat.

Your health is more important than avoiding an awkward moment. If they take offense, that’s on them.

You shouldn’t have to hurt yourself to make someone else happy.
