not embarrassed. They never put enough stalls in women's bathrooms anyway, so you can just think of your actions as a non-violent protest against a sexist bathroom system! 
I've had to turn to the men's room in a restaurant too - suddenly had an attack coming on and really didn't have any choice. There was just one bathroom each for men and women, so I knew when I came out there'd by some guy standing there waiting, and I'd be mortified. But I made myself brave by thinking of my friend S. who does not have IBS, but who always uses the men's room if there's a line for the women's. And, when she's done in the stall, she comes out, washes her hands, and freshens up her lipstick in the mirror! So I thought of her and that helped me.
