IME with ITBS, the biggest pitfall is running on it too soon. If it's still even a little inflamed, running on it will make things worse and set the recovery back to square one. For me, it took two full weeks off running to be able to resume without it flaring up (trying to run sooner just reset the clock).

I've found that I can bike on it after a few days...so I just bike until things settle down. There is also a band you can place above the knee that presses on the ITB to make it less likely to rub (below). I've found that to help.
