    Have you actually been diagnosed with IBS? IBS is often misdiagnosed by other things, such as celiac's, lactose intolerance, or just plain food poisoning.

    To answer your actual question, the cause of IBS is unknown, but I would feel that if you're eating fast food 24/7, there would be other problems before you get IBS.

    I suggest you eat some "healthy" foods at these fast food places. Opt for a salad or go to subway for a "nutritious" meal. Drink plenty of fluids. See if this helps.
