IBS: It could be true, but the best way in which to find out would to be seen and evaluated by a gastroenterologist. You might also try eating three cups of unpasteurized yogurt each day. There is data to suggest a wonderful effect on IBS.

Doubt IBS: Usually Irritable Bowel Syndrome causes cramping and either constipation or diarrhea. Not usual for it to cause burning pain or pain in back, or blood in stools. See your doctor and get checked, if symptoms persist, you may need to see a gastroenterologist. Good luck!
