Yes: Irritable bowel syndrome is defined by abdominal pain associated with a change in the frequency or consistency of bowel movements, occurring with a particular frequency over the course of many months. The pain is usually relieved with a bowel movement. So by definition you can't really have IBS without abdominal pain. Many other tests need to be done first to exclude other causes.
