thanks, everyone, for all the support and advice about the whole date thing. it was so great to have a place to vent my neuroses and figure out how to work this all out.

i ate only SF yesterday, took an imodium before going out and then extra SFS when i got off the subway, and drank a cranberry martini - and can i say, that having pretty much abstained from drinking for a few months, and not having eaten anything heavy all day, that drink hit me *fast*. but i still made it through the night completely ibs-free. it's great to know that once in a (long) while, if i'm careful, i can have a drink and survive. (before i was diagnosed with ibs, i had a couple episodes of throwing up after only a couple of drinks, and never understood why i was getting sick without even being very drunk.)

and as for the date, well, it was fine. nice, i suppose. we'll see about that. but hey, i'm not sick! we take what victories we can.

thanks again.
