Since you have already been diagnosed with IBS, haven't you already received counseling from your doctor on what you should be consuming to deal with it? It sounds like your stomach is in turmoil, and Burger King was probably not the best choice to make (even if you were that hungry).
"Severe diarrhea" is definitely cause to see your doctor. Have you tried something other than pepto bismol, like imodium? Imodium is used to treat diarrhea and available over the counter; but, in consideration of what you're experiencing, you should still consult your doctor. Plus, your doctor will decide whether you should be referred to a gastrointestinal specialist.
In the meanwhile, avoid heavy, spicy, acidic and hard to digest foods (like that burger). Crackers or dry toast may help quiet the grumbling; broth and fluids, like water or herbal tea, will help keep you from getting dehydrated.
