The very first thing that you need to do is de-stress. Try very hard to stay calm. Get rid of the yogurt. No soda,no candy,no coffee. Drink alot of hot strong peppermint tea. Try eating plain white rice and fresh baked french bread. Follow the "what to eat when you can't eat anything" list from the books. Stick with the fiber supplement till you get back from your trip. I highly recommend getting Heathers fiber,peppermint tablets, and peppermint tea as soon as possible. These items work better for me than anything off the shelf.
Is it hot or humid where you live? Summer is always worse for me than any other time of year. Stay as cool as possible. This may sound odd, but it really does help. You also need to stay hydrated, drink plenty of fluids.
I hope this helps.

Think so...is that like the Vicodin you have? I take Co-codamol which is paracetamol and codeine. Helps me loads with the pain and cramps of an attack.

It seems like if the yogurt didn't bother you before it is strange that it would be the problem now. Unless, you switched brands or flavors that has something different in it.
Also, be sure nothing you take like vitamins, gum, mints,etc has sorbitol/mannitol in it. That is a big IBS trigger.
Take Immodium for the diarrhea. It really helps me.
