The reasons people point to boas is simply that they can have it without showing symptoms for a long time and are quite a common pet in reptile collections.
To the OP.
I don't think it's IBD either - just the spider wobble.
You keep mentioning his weight but you didn't actually tell us any figures on weight gain or weight loss?
To me the snake looks fine body condition wise but weight would be a better way to judge progress I think.
And I wouldn't worry about skipping a few meals - no matter the paintjob it is still a BP.

Last I weighed him ( about 3 weeks ago) he was 575g, he never really lost weight, just never gained weight as quickly as any of my other bps. I have another bp that's 3 months younger than he is that was 732g the last I weighed him (also about 3 weeks ago, though he was a big boy to begin with.. I weigh monthly).
And thank you for the reassurance - when people jump to IBD it makes my heart palpitate even though I know that's not what it is
