It's impossible to say without a necropsy, but I don't feel that IBD is the culprit.

To begin with, IBD progresses slowly in boa constrictors and is a very debilitating disease. Symptoms are generally present for months before the boa finally succumbs.

Also, you mentioned stargazing. In snakes afflicted with IBD that exhibit this symptom, it's not something that just comes and goes. It is a 24/7 type of thing, and not even a slap upside the head will deter it.
