I'm IBS-D and have been a newbie to this site/diet/acacia,etc. for about 3 weeks...devouring all the info I can in hopes that I too can be "stable" soon. I'm feeling much better already, but I'm curious as to how others define that they are stable. I saw that a few people don't even think about their IBS much anymore or worry about a bathroom. Does this happen in the majority of stable people or are most just feeling like I am now...less anxious and more in control of the IBS by what I eat, etc...but I still have bathroom anxiety b/c the bms are erratic (although not as spasmatic with flare ups)...I feel like I'm constantly "working through it." Obviously I'm new at this and have a long way to go, but I was just wondering if the "stable" people have to "work through" each day too or do I really have something more hopeful ahead of me? For example, with IBS-D, does that mean only a flare up once a month or something like that? Just the fact that I COULD have one stresses me. I'm curious to know the range of "stable" descriptions. thanks!!

What exactly does "stable" mean for those who say they are?
