COULD be: quite a lot, however you are mentioning the most essential signs of IBS. http://www.nerdpocalypse.net/diseases/irritable%20bowel.html Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health. Different diet can be helpful in both IBS and some other less likely food intolerance diseaes.
