I have been living with my boyfriend for about 11 months now, but I just recently started Heather's diet. I am too embarrassed to tell him that I have IBS-C ... I have NEVER pooped at home. Now that I am on Heather's diet, obviously, there are a lot of foods now that I can't have. I have been able to cover up my true reasoning for this diet for about 2 weeks now, but its getting harder. I used to be a vegan, so I have just been telling him that I started up a modified vegan diet (hahah that whole concept is ridiculous b/c I still eat white meat). But, he is now starting to ask me questions about why I wanted to start this again, or why I can't have a piece of vegan cake even though there are no animal by-products in it (there was HFCS). Aaaghh, I don't know what to do. I can't keep this up for much longer. We have always eaten the same thing for dinner, and he likes that. Hahah he gets bummed out when we don't eat the same thing for dinner. But anyway, has anyone else been through this? How did you handle it, and what was your partner's response. We are both 19, so this sort of thing isn't as "normal" to us ... you don't usually hear about a teenager with IBS, and if they do have it, they either don't know it, or don't talk about it.
