Newbie here and feeling confused.

Hi all,

My doctor has told me that I have IBS yet I'm not sure. Doc has given me some peppermint tablets which I will start later today.

In my mind I don't have any of the symptoms of IBS. I haven't had any change in my bowel habits, no cramps, yes I do have a gurgling stomach but I went to docs as I am constantly burbing. I've had 2 endoscopes done, which showed I had mild gasitis. Which I've taken lansopasole for. Before this i was admitted to hospital with suspected gallstones but turned out to be a liver infection. This burbing is painful as well as annoying.

Confused 😕
