Can Diarrhea Be Due To IBS?

I am 24 male, 181cm height and 51.4 Kg weight. I am passing stool more than 3 times a day since the last 3-4 days. The stool looks normal with no foul smell. But, I am getting worried why I am passing it so many times. Often, I feel the urge to discharge once in 3 hrs or less and after taking food, I feel like passing stool. Previously, I used to go only 2 times maximum. Sleep is normal. Am I suffering from IBS? IS it due to the diet that I am taking? Please suggest a permanent remedy for my problem. Thanks

Hi,
According to me try changing the diet first before declaring IBS -D,most of the symptoms will improve after the diet modification .
Try to find out after what kind of food makes you urge to go bathroom ,just try avoiding that .
Usually milk and milk products ,wheat products wi;ll such such symptoms if you are allergic ,if so you need to further investigated to rule out cealic sprue .
Hope this information helps you
