Possibly, but get it checked by a doctor. It might even be a food intollerance or something like that.

Ask your doc.

You need to see a Gp for an official diagnosis of IBS, it should not be self-diagnosed

There are many bowel conditions all with similar symptoms, but all treated very differently, without knowing what you are suffering with you will not be able to start living well with your condition.

What else could it be? | The IBS Network

Symptoms of IBS indicate a sensitivity and irritability of the gut, which may, of course, be caused by other diseases that irritate or cause inflammation of the bowel. Your doctor will always need to consider the possibility of one of these.

Without a diagnosis from a medical practitioner no one will be able to advise you on treatment and you will not be able to start feeling well again. It cannot be diagnosed over the phone as there are certain tests that need to be carried out to rule out other conditions.

If you have had an official diagnosis confirmed IBS, as I’m sure you understand IBS is a very individual condition that affects people in different ways. There is no specific cause as to why it develops and therefore no single effective treatment, but by understanding how it affects you personally and what contexts make your symptoms worse and also those that relive them, you can learn to control and manage it.

We understand how difficult and embarrassing it can be to talk about your symptoms.
