I'd be frightened of this guy you spoke with since he said "in his experience with the disease." I would not ever buy something from someone who's had first hand experience with IBD.

Stay very far away from them at this point. Everyone should.

P.S. I doubt it was IBD though. Not the normal symptoms beforehand leading up to death.
I was planning on taking her to the vet if the regurgitation continued, as most people here suggested it was a temperature/thermoregulation issue. I was trying to see if her problems were caused/continued by an inadequate setup from the arboreal enclosure I gave her. I gave her about a week to settle down in a terrestrial enclosure before feeding her again so this way, she could get warm on the ground instead of having to climb up on a full stomach. Turns out, even using the warm hide on the ground she still regurgitated. It was too late, she died only minutes after throwing up the half-digested rat.

EDIT: are there other viruses that cause these symptoms?
