The way that I handle going to these public outings is my always making sure I carry some of the things that help if I start feeling bad, like Pepcid, Imodium, mints, a small can of 7 up.... And I don't know if this is normal but sometimes a small grocery bag so if it happened I could just run out of the area ( which has never happened). I also use positive self talk in my head like "you can do this... You can handle this." Sometimes I will say to my fiancé "if I don't feel well can you drive me home right away?" And he always says yes I will take care of you. When out with friends I try not to mention it and eat lighter if we are at a restaurant. If they ask questions or want me to eat more or try something, I just say " oh that doesn't agree with me." I too wish so much that someday I will never think about it again.
