A couple of ideas: pack snacks with you. Ie. packages of applesauce, safe crackers, instant oatmeal, etc. of soluble fiber and make sure you have some before you eat anywhere. While in Paris - stock up on French bread. It is the safest for IBS as it does not contain any dairy ingredients. Buy french bread wherever you can - that will always be a good base for you. Have a slice BEFORE you go to the restaurant. Don't be tempted to assume that all white bread is safe - it's not. Don't be afraid to ask questions in the restaurants as well. You don't have to justify your questions with a reason if you don't want to. If you do, you can say that you're not trying to be picky but you have food sensitivities and need to avoid certain foods. Ask what is in things. Grilled chicken/seafood is good. Ask to use as little oil as possible, condiments and sauces on the side, etc.
