Hey there
So, I'm new here, new to all of this really. I've started reading Heather's 'First Year' book (the other one's in the post!) and have been looking around on here. Have (lots of) questions :-$ Figure it's best to separate different things into different posts, so here goes...
I keep reading about people being "stable". Sorry if this is a stupid question... does this mean having no IBS symptoms at all (thanks to having found the right diet/lifestyle), i.e. no pain, no diarrhoea, no constipation, no horrible noises...?! Or does it mean still putting up with all those things, but less of them, or them being more predictable? Or having the symptoms but having found a way to live your life around them?
It's only been 6 months since I saw my dr about IBS, but the symptoms had been going on way longer... and I know I used to eat whatever I wanted and never have any problems, but at the same time I can't actually remember what that feels like - physically I mean. To be able to go to the toilet "normally", not to have to get up extra early to leave time to try and go to the loo, planning ways to cope (or, often, refuse) invitations to eat with other people...
Guess I'm scared of gettng my hopes up too much!
Anyone understand?

What does stable mean?
