They're starting to recommend that people with IBS, or IBS-like symptoms be tested for celiac disease, which is an intolerance to gluten (wheat, rye, barley and oats). A lot of people with celiac were misdiagnosed as having IBS for years. (18 years for me). It takes an average of 11 years for a person with celiac to be diagnosed.
Here's a webpage by the National Institutes of Health on celiac -
http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/
And another from the Mayo Clinic -
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/celiac-disease/DS00319
If that starts sounding familiar here are a couple of message boards for people with celiac and other gluten intolerances.

You can also be intolerant to other common foods and get the symptoms you are describing. Soy, corn, eggs, yeast, dairy, etc. You may want to think about keeping a food/symptoms journal and see if you can identify the culprit(s).
I hope you feel better soon.

I know alot of people who suffer from IBS, it's not nice at all.
I used to suffer with panic attacks and people thought i was rude when i would just get up and leave. Thankfully I don't get them anymore.
Other embaressing things my lack of control of my mouth when drunk.

I can fit a 50 cent piece up my nose. My wife thinks it's hilarious and it only bothers me that she brings it up to other people and wants me to show them so she can laugh.
