·I was wondering how much support that you all get from your spouse or other significant one? Been having ibs for two years now.My hubby to some extent thinks that he understands now but for the most part he's compassionate but doesn't really understand. He'll notice when we are out and I get stomach cramps and he'll say "we have to go home now, honey?" And sometimes when I'm having an extremely bad bout he'll come in the bathroom and cry with me, because he says he can't imagine going through that kind of pain on a daily basis. I try to get him to read some literature on ibs for that he could have a better understanding but he says that he already knows enough just by watching me!I think he gives me enough support but is not fully understanding the effects of ibs on me. Someone mentioned in the chat room about having a chat for spouses of ibs and that would be a great idea! So whoever brought that up, let's talk!I don't want him to have walk in my shoes but to understand when we have leave now and not make any smart unkind remarks about having to go so soon!Does anyone have any ideas about this?Brandi ------------------
