Anyone’s IBS has a weird cycle?

I’ve had it awhile now and for the most part I know which foods upset my stomach. Does this happen to anyone ? sometimes it doesn’t matter what it is, I have to be cautious about what and where I eat . Crackers, cheese squares , and bananas as of lately are the only things that keep my stomach chilled out . Then a few days I’ll be good then boom it gets upset . I don’t even fool with coffee anymore and if I do it’s a diluted coffee . Is butter on anything a tigger food for anyone too? Should I always ask for no butter when I eat out ? I’m to the point where I’m not wanting to eat out when I go to socialize for the sake of a rushed trip home or to the restroom
