Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

hey I am new to this side of the board.I usually just post to Eating for IBS.. but I decided to try this side for a while.
I am 24 years old and married for 3 years.
I developed IBS after having a stomach virus episode..
I also deal with panic disorder and anxiety due the IBS. I am afraid of having attacks away from home. Which stops me from doing a lot I want to do! How do you guys deal with IBS-D attacks when you are traveling or shopping????? I also look for the bathroom wheN I first get somewhere but getting there is the hard part. I just feel like I am never finished.. if you know what I mean.. and I usually cant tell if I have to go or if its just cramps.. unless I am having a major D attack then I knOW!!
Well i went to the doctor the other day and he prescribed me xanax and lesvin.. he said this would be better than librax.
I havent tried them yeah but I hope they work!
I am really looking for some advice on how to deal with situations when you are out and about.. like what you tell yourself to keep from freaking out...
Thanks soo much!
