Wanted to throw in my experience with the IT band here...

I had major issues with mine for over 2 years, unable to run more than .75mi before pain.  In my pic you can actually see my big knee brace (which I later found out was a complete waste!)

In addition to the stretches and foam roller mentioned numerous times above, I saw a chiropractor who specialized in ART (active release techniques).  After about 5 visits I am MUCH better and my running gets stronger every single time.  I haven't worn the brace since.  Look for an Ironman network provider who does ART.

THIS! I was better after 2 visits and haven't had issues since.

... and for the love of God don't stop doing exercises to strengthen your gluts.  I did and now My OTHER IT Band is acting up badly with only a week to go until a race!

It's good to know that I have a plan of attack to get it better, just sucks that it will likely impact my run next Sunday.
