Cara, I'm pretty sure there's a post in the library about this, but you probably know that. To try to answer your specific question, first, obviously we'll always be more prone to D at that time of month and have to be extra careful about what we eat, but I for one am stable enough that I haven't had a D attack in 5 1/2 months, even during my periods, not even cramps. When I feel a little iffy I pop an Imodium and that seems to take care of it.
Also I just saw an ad in a magazine about that BC pill with only four periods a year so I know it's available. From what I've read you don't even have to have the four periods. If your doctor says it's okay, you can just keep taking it every day and never have a period. They've been doing it for some women with certain medical problems for years apparently with no bad effects.
So anyway, no, you don't have to resign yourself to D every period. I'm living proof!! Hope this helps.
