Q: can i still have ibs if symptoms are not alleviated by having a bowel movement?

: Your question is not clear but I assume you want to know if the symptoms persist after a bowel movement IBS is ruled out. No, I do not think so but IBS is a chronic condition and many other acute or chronic conditions of the lower GI tract can have similar symptoms as IBS.
