(If not, stop reading now.)
The best way to avoid IBD is to buy from a quality breeder who practices top quarantine procedures. Check the BoI, and ask for a reference.
Then quarantine anyway.
I now practice a "welcome" vet visit before any snake enters my door, a 12-month quarantine, and another vet visit. Many times I take bloodwork as well. You cannot be too careful these days, as one cannot "undo" an IBD-level error.
Good luck!
(If you did mean IBS, the ever-helpful Wikipedia has a lengthy treatise:
