You need to be tested for everything that must be excluded for an IBS diagnosis. The odds are that what you have is IBS but I wouldn't be willing to bet my life on not having any of the nastier illnesses that can mimic it.
Read the section on what tests you need to have and what illnesses must be ruled out, find a GI guy, and get it done. If you're female you also need to have a talk with your gynecologist about endometriosis and ovarian cancer. I just did a post about this here with links to the diagnosis info and a place to possibly find a decent doctor.
Sheesh!

More than likely? What kind of diagnosis is that?
