Uncomfortable

Because of my unique, restrictive diet and my frequency of "getting sick", most of those around me recognize that I live differently than others. And while my friends are too polite to pry, I will often get questions from acquaintances that make me very uncomfortable.
This is especially true in a work situation. What do you do when a boss asks about your condition? In the back of my mind, alarms go off due to the complicated issues of insurance as well as employee reliability. While in reality, I do not abuse my given sick days and days off, I am nonetheless concerned, as a young working girl, about the image I have to the company. If I reveal too much to coworkers and superiors, I worry that they will take that information to restrict my growth or, in worse case scenario, give them another reason to let me go if budget cuts come about. Being indispensable to your work/company is a difficult issue to face with IBS looming.
Recently, a coworker asked about my dietary preferences. When I brushed it off and said offhandedly that I was allergic to cheese, she kept asking over and over again if I had been tested, if I really was allergic or if I was lactose intolerant. How do you sidestep these questions without revealing something that you would rather not mention? I was so flustered by her line of questioning that I quickly backed out of the room.

People are in many cases not buying Air Jordan shoes because they are involved in basketball in any way - it is all about the shoes reputation. Because the need for the shoes is greater than the thought process of the purchase itself they loose out and can often end up with replica or fake products. F. P.
