Hello,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
The IBS should be treated aggressively to stop the painful symptoms. Consult with a Gastroenterologist for the IBS. Go ahead with colonoscopy to get direct visualization of the IBS lesions inside and your treating Gastroenterologist will know how bad the lesions are, and if they need to be surgically removed if the medical management is failing to give you relief.
Take care.
