Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Miserable Vacation.....so far

Arrived in Panama City, FL yesterday afternoon and so far its been an awful trip. I have a severe IBS/anxiety attack this morning. Mom and I had to return to the room while hubby and dad went to the antique car show. Anyone have any issues because of riding in a car for lon distances. It was about a 5 hour road trip. We stopped maybe 3 or 4 times during the process but only for a few minutes. Eating out is tough. So far I haven't even felt like eating when I get to a restaurant because my stomach is all messed up. I've been living off V8 Butternut Squash soup and chicken noodle soup and baked potato chips. Probably all bad but I dont know what to eat. Maybe I am not drinking enough water. I seem to be having problems more in the morning. I get a knot feeling in my tummy and crampy abdomen and feel like I have mucus in my upper stomach. Once the anxiety and IBS attack pass I feel fine. Today it lasted a long time though. "sigh" I wanted this to be a relaxing and fun vacation. Any suggestions??
