Oh you poor thing! It's been a bit thing in my relationship as well - I developed IBS after I met my fiance.
Not sure what to suggest - don't think there's a magic answer. Getting over the anxiety issues so that you can go out some places will help. Most restaurants would be happy to help with no dairy, etc, so that's cool. I pretty much never go out to bars and clubs anymore, but that's not just the IBS. Instead, we go to the cinema (and get an aisle seat so I can get out to the loo! ), go to dinner, go to pubs for lunch. We do sporty-stuff together like sailing, working on my parents yacht, walking the dog...
Maybe having a talk and saying you'll make a big effort and so could he give you some slack, or something, might help. And remember to be VERY good in following the diet and Heather's suggestions, taking your supplements and taking your meds. That way he'll see you're doing the best you can to help yourself.
Also, getting him to go out with his friends occasionally helps! He can get drunk - you can relax in the bath!
