Hello and thanks for posting.
First, sorry to hear about your trouble.
Second, there are many potential issues that need to be ruled out and you should see a gastroenterologist to assist in this before anyone just states it is just irritable bowel syndrome. I do not know your age, but there is a website called breakingtheviciouscycle.info that you can look into to make some changes in the diet and eliminate potential contributing factors.
Best of luck
