I think Aus is a bit different to America. We rarely "date" and mostly go out to nightclubs or the movies or something. When I met my DH I didn't tell him which was hard as I stayed with him for 2 weeks after moving here before I found my own place. I didn't really think it was a huge issue that he know about from the word go and I didn't lie to him. I didn't want to say "Hi I'm Amy, I have diarreah all the time, how bout we go out?" so I just didn't say anything. Of course after a while he noticed I was sick an awful lot so as soon as he asked about it I told him. And he was great. By that time he had got to know "me" not "me and my IBS" and he was fine. If we happened to go out before he knew I just told him that certain foods made me feel really sick so I chose not to eat them and he never questioned that. Maybe it helped that he worked at a hospital but even now he thinks it sucks cause it takes up so much of my life and restricts us a lot but if someone loves you they love you anyway.
