Hello. A bit too much info, but for the past two weeks or so I've been experiencing random bouts of abdominal discomfort that seem to get worse as I think about it, along with alternating thin stool/constipation. I have to go to the bathroom a few times a day, but most of the time nothing comes out. I have no blood in my stool, and I don't feel sick. Generally, it gets worse when I go out somewhere, as I am more paranoid in public. I'm not sure whether it is colon cancer or IBS, since the symptoms are strikingly similar. Thanks.

Edit; I have also had a long history with health anxiety, and I had an ultrasound that came back normal about a year ago for a different issue.
