When family members disagree about digestive health issues

Our family dinners have become a minefield since my teenage daughter developed anxiety-related digestive issues and my husband thinks she's being dramatic while I'm researching every possible trigger. We're all eating different things now, she's stressed about disappointing us, and my husband and I are arguing about whether this is 'real' or something she'll outgrow.
