Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | how to know if I'm stable?

Hi there. I'm curious about something...

Does being stable mean that you have no symptoms at all (nausea, bloating, gas) or just mean that you have "normal" bowel movements? I've been on the diet for a week now and haven't really been constipated or gone too much in one day (I'm an A) over the last couple days...but I am a little bloated and gassy and today I feel a little nauseous. I also have my period this week and usually feel like I have a balloon in my gut and I don't this week!! I'm really starting to think this diet does work!! I'm not doing the totally strict diet of just SF foods, but I haven't eaten any of the trigger foods (except for some soy cheese that has casein in it??) and I'm being careful with my ISF foods and making sure I'm taking my acacia and eating SF foods with every meal. I'm giving it 100% effort for sure!

Anyway, if someone could clarify I'd appreciate it!

And I hope I used all the correct abbreviations...I'm new on here.
