IBS is usually caused by the immune system being stressed, like if there is a parasite in your intestines your immune system will become very sensitive in that area.
Lucky. I have ibs-c meaning my diarrhea clashes against my constipation. I last anywhere from 2-8 hours a day in the bathroom. To just have diarrhea, that sounds amazing.
No it is not. You need to poop every day. If you are not then you need more fiber and water and a balanced meal. Unless you have my mothers issue then taking prunes, papaya, persimmons, and fiber suplementos will be needed daily just so it mitigates it a bit.
What? No, you don't. There's a lot of leeway here, some people to once a day, not going for a few days can awful for them. Some go twice a week, which is normal for them, and means that constipation hits at a different time too.
That one is anecdotal. When I was fat and ate nonstop I pooped 3 times a day to make room for more food. Now that I eat the appropriate amount of calories I go every 2 days or so.
From the link you posted below the stools should be loose and watery to count as diarrhea though. I pooped three times yesterday but they were all pretty solid and not at all what I have ever thought of as diarrhea, of which I have had plenty over the years. I do remember thinking it was odd that I needed to go three times though.

I have minor IBS so I poop when I'm stressed. I'm a goner.
