Is this IBS?

Hello,

It seems that twice a week or so that I get diarrhea, and is worse when I have eaten outside of the house. It doesn't seem to matter whether I eat a little or a lot, healthy or unhealthy. It is worth mentioning that at 10 years old I had a twisted bowel, but was fixed within a week with no removal of bowel. The condition also improves when I take 1mg of loperamide (immodium, but unbranded) in the morning - though I still end up going twice a day just normal. Is this IBS or something else?

Thank-you.

    Consult a gastroenterologist, to rule out anything serious and to identify the cause.
