I know it's difficult but I have just adopted the attitude of "there is worst things in life than IBS."I was just saying in a topic I started, Peppermint oill 200mg works for me. Taken in capsule form 1 or 2, once a day before I go to sleep, helps me go to the toliet in the morning, meaning I don't usually need to go during the day because I've got "rid" of everything that morning if you see what I mean!It's all about "positive" thinking (I know its hard sometimes, I doubt myself at times). Just get into the mindset, "there's a toliet in this place where I'm going and if I need to go I will go." I have to admit it does stop me doing things sometimes but its something I and many others have to live with.
