I'm a 30-year-old female with no previous illnesses. I've been experiencing severe stomach issues for over a week, including inability to eat (only small bites of white rice), alternating between very bland stools and constipation, constant feeling of being full of gas (upper chest, bloated abdomen), and a heartburn-like sensation without reflux. I feel very full and close to throwing up after eating very small quantities, even when hungry. I have no pain in my stomach. My GP thinks it might be IBS, but I'm not sure and very worried. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or remedies should I consider?
