Fly away!
I went through this when I was 19. I took anti-diarrheal medications every day for a couple of months and it stopped as suddenly as it came on. I wasn't diagnosis'd with IBS then (not for another 7 or 8 years) and knew nothing about food being an issue. I was just very stressed. I have flare ups now and sometimes I feel like my life is controlled by my bowels, but never anything like that episode. Now if I try an anti-diarrheal, I don't go for days (like it takes me too far in the other direction) so I use something much more mild like Maalox.
I hope you are able to get this under control soon. It's horrible and embarrassing and so limiting - besides that you're always feeling crummy.
