Thank you for your kind words. I have read a lot of your postings, and you just have such a kind heart and fabulous attitude! I guess that I am just really embarassed to tell him. We have been together for almost 3 years, he even followed me to NYC when I moved. But I feel like I have to hide my IBS from him. I tell him when I'm not feeling good, like "my stomach is just really sensitive." I don't really let people in when it comes to my life. I have wonderful close friends, but still won't tell them in fear that they will think of me different. I'm 25, and feel like that I will be branded as the one with the bathroom problems, too gross to talk about, although my friends and I can talk about anything. For the past month, I have really stayed away from my friends, hoping that if I get my IBS under control, that things would be perfect in my life. I work in the fashion industry and people can be very cruel when you don't fit the mold. If I tell my boyfriend, that means that he will be the first one I let in to my "life" and if he isn't supportive, I don't think that I would have the courage to tell anyone else.
