Thanks Dragonfly, for the compliment. I don't go to full blown panic but do get very anxious. I will try your tips, also. Also, I may start to carry the toilet paper and wipes. I didn't think about that. I carry the blanket and towels for my car. It's new!  Silly, aren't I?
So, you think we talk our body into an attack? I think you may be right about that. I noticed on the commute if I can keep my mind off of it, it does not bother me. And, for me it seems only in the car, or as soon as I get to work. On the weekends and days off, I am fine. Go figure. 
I am just finding my way. I know that I can conquer this, and I know that there are many people who are so much worse off than IBS. Some can not even step out of the house, they are so ill. I just try day by day to keep it in prospective. Live and learn, I guess.
I am sorry about the funeral fiasco. That is the bad thing about this condition. Before, when I was always C, I knew I could pass gas and not worry, but now with all kinds of crazy stools, I can't take that chance. So, I totally understand how stressful that is. 
In my heart, I truly think it is a mental thing. I know it is physical and I know it is a true physical condition, but I feel it all starts with the mind. I think once that is under control, you will get will. Just my thoughts.
Take care
