I had onset in '91, was finally diagnosed in '92. I stabilized within another year and, quite honestly, didn't give my digestive tract much thought again until 3 years ago. From '93 until '02 I had very mild symptoms, but wasn't driven back to the GI for more tests/help until '02. Since that time, I have once again almost stabilized, but this time my symptoms are hanging around more consistantly. If I get too far off the beaten track foodwise (too much, too greasy, ice cream) I REALLY pay for it! I also have to be very faithful with the SF and other supplements to maintain what stability I have acheived. I have also recently added a very small dose of AD that has also helped me to be more comfortable.
Stress is my biggest trigger though, and these past 5-7 years have been filled with quite a bit of extreme circumstances all in a row. My initial onset was also triggered by a HUGE life event. I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but that's how IBS has treated me thus far.
