Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Anyone have major anxiety over IBS???

I'm not sure if this is where I would post this but I'm going to anyways! Because of my IBS I get very anxious about going anywhere far from home! I just found out today that my Mother-in-law might be sending me and my family (husband and 2 kids) to Arizona next month to visit my husband brother and wife. It sounds like so much fun...except for my anxiety is getting in the way. I worry about going out to dinner or a movie 10 miles away. I don't know how I could handel going to Arizona. I'm in Utah. That's far!!!!! Does anyone else have this problem? I just worry about what if I get sick...where is the bathroom...what if I get sick on the airplane..ETC.ETC! The list of worries go's on and on! Has anyone had this and been able to get over with the diet? I hate feeling like this. I know I just add to the problem by worrying about it. What can I do to chill out? Any ideas would help. If there is anyone else with this problem I would love to hear from you!!

Thanks so much!
