Does this sound like IBS?

Hello all,

I am new here and am hoping to get some answers.  I have had stomach issues off and on my entire life, but have never been diagnosed with anything.  I had a colonoscopy last year and get them every 5 - they have all been negative.

For the past month I have been experiencing lower abdominal discomfort, burping, and loose stools.  I don't feel like eating much but I make myself.  This is not new to me - it happens a couple times a year. Of course I have looked up IBS but I always worry it could be something worse.  SO, now you now - I have bad anxiety which I know is a factor in IBS.  

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  And thanks for reading!

Best,

Wildflower6
