IBS-C and stool softeners

Hello, I was diagnosed with IBS about a month and a half ago. I've just ordered the Acacia fiber because FiberCon doesn't seem to be helping much with my constipation. I had been taking a docusate sodium stool softener that seemed to help, but i stopped taking it and found my self constipated again. The problem is that I am going out of town for the weekend in one week and I am staying at a friends house. I'm worried because I have pretty bad bloating and gas along with the constipation, and that could be rather embarrassing. I was wondering what would be the best way to keep these problems at bay for the weekend? I've been using charcoal, fennel, and peppermint, but none seem to help with the gas. Should I take the stool softener or something else for the constipation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
