If i have trapped air in my stomach with slow digestion and when i have a bowel movement, it seems constipated and "airy". do i have ibs?

You could: If this is a chronic problem of sluggish intestinal activity,your best bet would be to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. Dietary advice and eating habits would also be reviewed. Appropriate tests will be ordered.

Yes you may: Due to poor accomadation of the GI tract in IBS the body compensates by relaxing abdominal muscles producing bloating and a sense of slow transit. Please see my book "The Gut Solution" for more details
