I think that for a lot of people being 'stable' is more about how they can get about their daily lives, not so much physical symptoms. Everything she said I think makes perfect sense. Being stable doesn't mean NEVER having an attack, or a flareup or whatever you want to call it. You will always HAVE the IBS and that means you have to keep in somewhere, but hopefully not at the front!, of your mind. If you go for months being able to not worry about your bowel habbits, but have one bad day after some particularly bad decisions at a Mexican Food Restaurant (not that I'd do that.. ) doesn't mean you aren't stable. It means you made poor choices that as someone with IBS, you can't afford to do WITHOUT expecting consequences.
Good luck! --Steph
