I think I have IBS, what should I do?

I'm 17 yrs old and for the past month, I've been having changing bowel movements and I think I have IBS. It started when I went to this one fast food place and I got diarrhea from it for 3 days. Eventually, it stopped but then it seemed that when I ate deep fried foods, I would get diarrhea right after. I decided to quit eating fried foods for good right after this realization and it helped. But it would give me some constipation that would stop. My bowel movements were finally normalizing themselves but then I had a grilled chicken sandwich from another food place and that made my diarrhea come back. I was disappointed and almost distraught. Like what do I eat, what do I do? It has been stressing me out for the past month. 

Any ideas? Thanks.
