IBS question

for those that have IBS- what are your symptoms?

I feel like I’ve had a mild case of IBS for a few years now, ever since my first pregnancy with my daughter 5 years ago. I go 1-3 times per day, almost always within 30-45 minutes of eating. half of the time it’s urgent/painful and immediately the pain stops after I go to the bathroom. always a type 5 + 6 on the bristol stool chart. I only have type 7 occasionally during my period, which I think triggers it. I’m always bloated after meals! lots of gas too. occasional acid reflux. my version of constipated is a couple days after ovulation, for 1-2 days. I will get small amounts of mucus in my stool during this time. (not ewcm, I definitely know it’s not from the vagina) I’m actually allergic to milk so I don’t consume dairy unless it’s very small amounts. I do eat gluten though so might try cutting that out to see if it helps. but does this sound like IBS?
