THAT *ALWAYS* HAPPENS TO ME!! i would never want to talk about when i was finally having BMs at the risk of losing them again. maybe the longest ive ever been perfectly stable was for 3-4 days in a row. i had flat tummy, no gas, and perfect BMs. i remember that that time in my life was a time when i was really really happy. sometimes i think this disease is more of a feeling-basis and that your feelings really effect it, since its a brain-gut disfunction. im sorry you lost your BMs--i hope they come back!!!
