 I think it's a case of a man who can't handle people who CAN get sick.
I wouldn't waste any more time on this guy. 3 months and he does that?
Good riddance, he sounds utterly callous.

 I know it's difficult to accept that some people can be shockingly callous, but I'm afraid that's exactly what this guy is. I believe your sister is trying to soften the blow for you, but I really wouldn't read more into it.
It may not feel like one now, but it really is a blessing that he's gone.

 Is that the guy who got asked by your family about his age over and over again? I would say he has insecurities and he's projecting them onto you. I knew someone with IBS. It's a constant discomfort and your boyfriend make it sound like you had a diarrhea right there at the table. Even if that happened it calls for sympathy, and it's not an embarrassment to be with a partner with a condition like this. His comment was out of place. He's got more issues than minding about the age difference. He was liking getting back at you because he must have thought your family was giving him a hard time. So he's insecure, paranoid and vengeful. Not to mention old. If he doesn't contact you back then good riddance.
