Bauie, I don't have time to write much right now, but I wanted you to know that I completely understand, too! Right now I'm in grad school, but I lived on campus undergrad and it was definitely a challenge sometimes. I wasn't officially diagnosed with IBS back then, but I know I had it. It was constantly putting a cramp in my social life (no pun intended!). Plus it created some tension between me and my roommate, because I was frequently backing out of our plans when I didn't feel well and she never really seemed to understand. Not to mention how difficult it was to find a decent meal in the dining hall! Argh. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that it's a struggle sometimes, but you'll get through it. You already got some great suggestions, so all I can think to add at the moment is to follow your intuition! Your body knows what's good for it and what isn't, so make sure you listen to it! If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck!
