I just started developing IBS when dating my husband. In fact, the second after he proposed I had to run to the bathroom with D. So he was fairly warned. He is really great about it. Once in a while everyone can be annoyed by the effects of IBS but he has been great. I have a lot more trouble with his family and other close friends not understanding how important it is for me to eat right and how much PAIN IBS can cause. I think an understanding spouse is a complete necessity. I couldn't tolerate him being a jerk about it.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
