What you described is consistent inflammatory bowel disease. Irritable bowel syndrome would not be expected to have any abscesses. It would be prudent to consult a GI specialist at your earliest. Wish you good health!

Yes it can occur, but rarely. But your symptoms do not seem to be from that. GI doc should be treating you for all the symptoms described
