Hang in there. It will likely be a relief to get it out in the open. Almost EVERYONE I have told about IBS has said "oh, so and so has that, too". People are becoming more aware. 20% of the population has this - so it's nothing to be ashamed of. You didn't ask for it. Think of it as your one and only imperfection (we all have a few, right?) and be proud it's not something you caused - it's just something you have to deal with. None of us are perfect, sweetie. Time to let your friends support you.
Oh, and at the pub type places, ask for a plain grilled chicken breast one a plain white toasted bun (no butter or mayo) and whatever you want on the side (ie a baked potato, steamed veggies,). I always go for the chicken - it's usually a safe option.
