I know where you are coming from. I have always found it difficult to talk about anything vaguely personal, and there are still very few people I have actually explained my IBS to properly, although most people that know me are vaguely aware of some health problem that makes my eating habits rather unusual! But I agree with others that being honest is for the best with our nearest and dearest - our friends and family are people who love us and who want us to be happy and healthy, so their first reaction would probably be one of sympathy and concern. And it's not our fault that we have this illness! I think we have a right to be able to talk about if we want to and to get the same support as any other person who has an illness. I know I'm not exactly practicing what I preach - but anyway, I wish you the best, i'm sure your BF and friends will be understanding.
