Sugar, do you eat Salmon?
Try not to freak out, that becomes the problem.
"worrying does not change the outcome."
Take some food with you perhaps, your safe foods.
Only eat samll amounts.
Perhaps ask if something special can be made, most restaurants will accomadate a person with special needs.
This actually looks the safest
"Mushroom Rice Pilaf, Salmon With Mango Sauce" ibs wise, if you like salmon.
The biggest thing is don't worry and stress out. Then you will have problems for sure.
This is an example here. This is one thing CBT for IBS is all about.
"The cognitive therapy part of CBT helps individuals to identify, challenge and replace unhealthy thought patterns. When we are thinking clearly, we are able to deal with the world in a calm, rational manner. However, our thinking often gets distorted, due to our personalities, our past history, our emotional state or lack of information. When thinking gets distorted it can lead to excessive emotional reactions. For an individual with IBS, these thought distortions may lead to an anxiety response that can trigger symptoms. For example, if a person with IBS thinks "My stomach is rumbling. Uh, oh! I know I am going to be sick. What is I can't make it to the bathroom? This is terrible!", that person is going to experience anxiety and perhaps set off the very symptoms they are afraid of. If instead, the person thinks, "Just because my stomach is making some noise does not necessarily mean I am going to have symptoms. I will just focus on what I am doing and see what happens", that person will remain calm and be less likely to stimulate their digestive system."
