Is irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis the same thing?

I was diagnosed with diverticulosis, after a colonoscopy. The symptoms I have are chronic constipation with bloating. I see that the symptoms are the same for IBS. I am wondering if there are two different names for the same condition?

What are some causes of small bowel problems?

After having a colonoscopy, the surgeon informed my family that I still had bowel in my small intestines, how in the world could that be after taking 4 dokolax pills with a large glass of water and taking 64 OZ's of Matrix which took over 2 hours, what would cause this?

Just diagnosed with acute gastritis and ulcerative colitis. Is it normal not to have a bowel movement yet?

I got severe bloody diarrhea last tues around 2:30 am until about 12pm on Wed. I was rushed to the hospital/admitted and put on fluids (sodium chloride and potassium) and later dextrose for Wed-Friday none stop.. Today is now Monday and I still havent had a bowel movement since Wed. I am getting concerned. I mete with my internist and gastrologist this Thurs as a followup so I definetly with let them know. I am also on 500mg of Flagyl 3 times a day and once a day of Levaquin 500mg once a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned that I havent went yet? Is it side effect from the meds or the potassium?
I forgot to add that The doctor did perform a colonoscopy & a biopsy. I get results this week from the biopsy
