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

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.
