[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 331695, member: 6546"] GCVMom-- I can stand the lying either-- That said, this is a kind of a tricky situation. I suffered from the worst IBS for years. And I used to dread eating because I was never confident that it wouldn't lead to more pain agony and spending the rest of the day in the bathroom. Better to be hungry than sick... on the other hand--skipping meals was not good for me either. I certainly knew it. It affected my overall health, my mood, my concentration...everything. So what's the solution? Eventually, I was able to get over the general stress of meal times. It was not easy. And sometimes, even today, I will still worry about whether or not it's a good idea to eat (like if I'm at someone else's house, for example). I say, make food available. Something that you know will not trigger any unpleasant symptoms--something safe...and leave it there in his locker at school (obviously nothing perishable) and have similar safe food at home for an afterschool snack. And stop asking about it. By you worrying about it, you may be inadvertantly causing more stress about eating...which he wants to avoid....so he lies about it....you find out and you worry....etc etc etc Just my thoughts... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
