We are the silent majority in the country. We are those that silently writhe in pain while the others enjoy their $38 steak, or $8 slice of cheesecake. We are those guys and girls at the party who won't eat the cake, won't drink the liquor and sure as hell won't eat the spicy shrimp appetizer that all our friends seem to be enjoying. We are the silent ones who rush to the bathroom before we sit down at our desk in the morning. We are those who get up in the middle of class and pretend like we are answering a phone call, when, in fact, we are going to our favorite place besides bed... the bathroom. Some of us are worse than others. Some of us have had the humiliation of paying 5o cents at a rest stop to avoid an emergency of epic proportions. Some of us have had to sit quietly during an opera, sports game or lecture while deep in our bowels a rumble greater than Mt. St. Helen's was shaking us to the core.
Food Intolerant is a release from the pain, anger, resentment, joy, humiliation and any other feeling that we may have about our relationship with food. It is a site where a community of those people with weak stomachs, lactose intolerance, IBS, acid reflux or any other stomach ailment can come to discuss the issues of the day or let out a fiery rant about their problems. It is also a site of joy. A celebration that we are who we are. This site will encourage you to take pride in the fact that you have a terrible stomach. It will encourage to let your co-worker, girlfriend, or boss know that you just took a massive crap in the bathroom from the left-over taco salad you just ate. It is a site where problems will be answered, advice will be given, and stories will be shared about stomach episodes that we have all experienced. Most of all, it is a site to remind us that we can live life fully with a stomach problem, and that the only way to defeat the problem is to accept the problem and laugh... laugh at yourself.
