Before getting into a relationship, my boyfriend and I were close friends for a couple years. He knew that I had stomach issues (as do the rest of my friends), but never knew too much details. Ever since we've gotten together, he's wanted to know more and more about IBS, and about what stuff I can eat or can't eat. One day he even started telling me about this news report on the radio about studies they are doing with IBS - which is funny because he is so not the type of guy who listens to the news.
In fact, he's more strict about my diet than I am! If I eat something that is definitely a trigger or questionable, he'll question it or try to trade me for it. It's cute and definitely what I need since I have no self-control. LOL
You might be surprised at how supportive he is once you tell him. A positive side of IBS is that you can really tell how much someone loves you by how supportive they are.
