Sometimes medication can do this...if you can remember any drugs he may have began a month or so before this IBS started, then the prescribing doc needs to review the side effects and change up the kind of meds he's taking.  That happened to me, lasted six months, went to hospital, also colonoscopy, the whole nine yards.  No one knew what was wrong, so I figured it out.  As soon as I changed the medicine (it was a tranquilizer), the IBS went away, altho my tummy is still pretty sensitive sometimes.
