As someone without IBS I don't know exactly but I do get really heavy periods that were a problem during exam seasons so I can relate slightly.
I wouldn't suggest going to your exam board directly - instead contact your exams officer, or your head of college/VI form ( id you don't have an exams officer) about it. This may help you to get rest breaks or to still do the full exam with toilet breaks.
Depending on how many sets of mocks you get in year 13 (I think I had 5 across sixthform with in year 13 for two of my subjects), you can see what works best. In the event that the exam board will be contacted (which your EO or HOY should do), they should have a few strategies that you can try
Hope this helps

you are allowed to use the toilets during exams in my alevel exams i was able too. but don’t threat inform your exam managers in school and show medical proof with diagnosis so they can show exam board and you can get special consideration!
