Yep, it's definitely very common. I'm on anti-anxiety medication to deal with my own psychological problems and how they affect my IBS, because, quite honestly, nothing else worked. But the meds do the job nicely, and it's nice to have my life back.
Linz's suggestion is an excellent one. Always travel prepared! I never leave the house without imodium, safe snacks, drinks, peppermints, sometimes even herbal teabags. Being prepared for anything that might come up eases your mind on a subconscious level... and the more you go out, prepared, the easier and more comfortable it gets.
