Q: Possible Ibs Sufferer, Need Opinions...

I'm a 22 year old us sailor, who eats very healthy. Every once awhile (about twice a month) i'll have a lil fast food or something not too good for me. 2 weeks ago I went to in n out burger here in california and had a burger and fries. I had no abdominal pains or constipation, but I did notice a little change in my bowel movements such as texture and what not. About 4 days after that I decided to sin again and get a quesadilla from a "taco truck" and immediately after I ate that I had to go to the bathroom non stop and had unbelievable abdominal pains. Those pains stopped the day after, but I shortly became constipated and later what felt like very strong gas pains started to begin. The pains don't stop after I have a bowel movement though. I've been suffering for two weeks now and went to see the naval doctor yesterday, she saw no reason to do any bloodwork or any other tests since I had no fever. She gave me stool softener and some pills for my gas, which barely seem to work. When I do go to the bathroom I either have diahrea or very watery stool (which could be from the stool softener). Does this sounds like ibs to any of you or what else could this be. I'm not in pain per say, but i'm in constant discomfort. Please help!
