Just kiddin'.. Well not really. You know what I mean 
But yes, I have been through that cycle! Seriously looking 8 or 9 months pregnant! It took me a while to believe that IBS can really do this to a person!  Not to be a Chicken Little, but I think anytime a woman has a lot of abdominal bloating, it is absolutely IMPERATIVE you have seen your GYN and ruled out any kind of ovarian or uterine growths (benign or otherwise can both cause these problems!) before you just blame the IBS for everything. I was diagnosed with IBS by several Dr's (OK 10) and went around sick as a dog for a year before it was discovered I had both, An ovarian mass (small nerf football sized) pressing on my colon, which may have been the "gut insult" that started my severe IBS problems. SO after you have made sure you have no gyn problems, and you have been diagnosed with IBS, yes, this can happen.. BTW have you tried not eating wheat, seriously? and really reading labels to make sure it's gluten free, like the hidden stuff in salad dressing, candy, etc..?? Because after I did this, even though I'm celiac neg, my GP asked me to try this, and I have like ZERO bloating!  I'm a happy girl!
