Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | going to see doc i think but can any1 help in meantime

hi everyone, got a problem thats making me feel anxious, basically sticking to the diet has kept my ibs-d under control and i now have normal bms usually. before the diet i had loose bms once or twice a day maybe (i forget, i was anxious cos it was loose, could of been upto 3 times) now im normal i go 2 or sometimes even 3 times a day, totally normal, but sometimes a bm might b one big stool or sometimes 2-4 smaller parts etc(not that i sit there counting!!!) like broken up. now im getting anxious cos im worried im going 2 much even though its normal consistency, when they say its healthy up 2-3 times a day is that a bowel movement or a stool? cos say if i go 2-3 times a day and theres 2 stools thats like 4 or 6!!! i know im being silly as its got to b better than having d and i eat so much more fibrous things and veggies than i used to as i feared them, so i know it could be change in diet too, but i just get anxious, ive always wanted to b healthy and worried im not now, if anyone has any similar experience or just advice, really apreciate it
