Is Stomach Pain And Not Well A Symbol Of Kidney Infection?

I have a dull pain in my lower back, somewhat of a upset stomach and generally don t feel well. I don t have a fever. I have been to the doctor and he said it was IBS. I am taking Metimucil twice a day along with chlordiazepoxide/clidinium caps 3 times a day. It does not hurt when I urinate nor do I urinate frequently. Could this be a sign of a kidney infection?
