Is this IBS?

Over the last week or so I've felt awful. It started with severe stomach bloating which died off but I still get occasional cramps in my stomach/rectal area, with some itching down there aswell. But I've also felt very tired all the time, arms/legs feel fatigued and I just want to get in to bed all the time.  Does this sound like IBS or something more serious? I've scheduled an appointment but the soonest I could get was next Friday.

It sounds like IBS and dietary intolerances. You could start an elimination diet to see what the culprits are. For me it was gluten and dairy

I've left a lot out actually. I've been fairly flatulent and my bowel movements have been weird - sometimes I can pass stool easily sometimes it's a struggle. But so far I've had no vomiting or blood in stool.
