Hi

I can relate to what you have said. It does sound like anxiety/panic and IBS. Have you mentioned any medication for IBS from your GP, there is an across the counter medication not sure of it's name, basically it stops the digestive system going into spasm, the name I have is Colofac IBS (mebeverine) an antispasmodic. It works for me. Do you do any relaxation or meditation - that would help. If you have had the tests and you GP says it is IBS and stress, then I would believe him.

Hope you feel better soon.
