I think my boyfriend's getting annoyed as a lot of the time we make plans and I end up being too ill to go. Or he wants me to go out to dinner but I can't eat out at the moment because I'm still trying to find out what I can and can't eat. What do I do? xxx Reply to this Question

Well the simple answer is to stop planning things in advance.
Most things in the world don't require you to book.
That way he can just give you a ring and see if you are up to doing anything - or if you are really well one night you can ring him and suggest cinema etc.
As for restaurants - I am sure there are certain things like chips or boiled rice that you can eat without fear. So just go and order something small and plain. It'll be a bit embarressing but they'll just assume you are a fussy eater. Don't go anywhere too posh. Pubs and chinese places won't mind what you do.
Good Luck!! xx
