Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

so following on from a post I put on the Living room about freaking out about my transition from C to A...and not feeling in control of my BMs anymore or poo form..I wanted to ask a question. Since I was always a C, it is weird for me to have to go more then once a day and makes me feel like I am going to get D (plus I am in disbelief constantly that I can be eating this much white stuff and still doing soft logs!)....it really panics me (I think I am going to get some psycho help...seriously need to learn not to get scared and think myself into an attack).
So, for those of you on a more normal day (ie relatively stabilised) how much do you poo and how many times? what does it look like (colour, shape...is it sometimes a bit too soft)? Do you have to wipe a lot?
I know this is a graphic post, but it would really mean a lot to me if you could convince me that doing 3 logs a day is actually cause for celebration, not fear.
I never thought I would dream of being C again...pathetic...you really get used to what you live with for a long time...don't you!
Lots of love and logs! (:-))
