It's essentially a non specific diagnosis/label for a series of GastroIntestinal symptoms that are just what it says on the tin.
Stress is believed to play a significant part and some people find their IBS is due to food intolerance.
Medical treatment may vary from advice on diet and relaxation to the use of anti-spasmodic drugs or bulking agents.
Some people may find help from practitioners of complementary medicine such as acupuncturists, homeopaths, herbalists etc.
What you describe are usual anxiety symptoms . You don't need to have IBS to have all you describe..
