I've not seen anyone get DIB based on just IBS. However, the vast majority of people who file have multiple issues, so that is not to say it isn't possible. It doesn't exist as a stand alone impairment code, but could fall under "other GI disorders".
If you are unable to work due to this, you should definitely file. And make sure to list ALL impairments you have (i.e., if you also suffer from anxiety, list it). Sometimes one impairment alone may not be disabling, but they can find that a combination of impairments is. And if you are denied, appeal. It may take a few years, but if you are persistent, many denials are overturned by the judge. HTH
