Loc: Vancouver Washington (IBS-A, but D prominant)
not having D every morning.It is being able to leave the house at any given time and not fear having an "accident" or not having to be absolutely sure that there is a bathroom where ever I may be going. Knowing that an attack will eventually subside if I have one. The gas and bloating I think I can live with and control on a daily basis. I accept that. I think it means something different to everyone, kind of like everyone's syptoms vary drastically. Those are the keys for me. I guess it just depends on what any one person can comfortably live with and what their way of looking at things is. My theory is that this happened to me for a reason. I don't like nor understand what has happened, but I know there is a good reason( and no, I'm NOT religious). Possibly, to have a better understanding and knowledge to help my children with similar problems. Most of my kids have varying intestinal problems, nothing terrible but we never thought twice about it, just dealt with it. Now that I know so much more about how things work, I grimace at the thought of some of the things we've done to help get through situations. Now I can help them more effectively, as well as other family and friends. Ok, I've rambled on and on. Hope this makes sense.
