Well, where do i start....i have recently been diagnosed with ibs(irritable bowel syndrome) and in laymens terms means I have a sensitive stomach and everynow and again have to rush off to the toilet.
Through managing my diet and stress levels I am getting it slowly under control but still suffer occassionally...
.....when it comes to thinking about a girlfriend, I not sure whether a girl would be patient/considerate enough to put up with the strict diet, watching what dairy, wheat, gluten is in foods before i eat them etc...and associated stress that goes along with it...when out and about..
Most of the time I am alright and go out, keep fit, cinema etc.
But would a girl be ok with that in a boyfriend, where it may encroach on activites ,travel etc...????????
Feedback would be great!

i've recently switched from being vegan back to vegetarian, so although i don't suffer with what you've got, i know where you are coming from from the food angle anyway.
Asthmatics have girlfriends, diabetics have girlfriends, and people have girlfriends. Not meaning to sound harsh but get over yourself ibs is nothing major and start living a normal life.
was just putting it out there, thats what these forums are for as i understand it....
