Hello!

Thank you for the query.

IBS can be diagnosed only after ruling out all other gastrintestinal issues. To do that many tests are necessary. So we can not say its IBS.
Bloated stomach with nausea can appear due to many issues including bacterial infection, bad diet or bowels obstruction.
It is not a good idea to try different medicines without proper diagnostics (seems like your doctors are testing which medicine will be effective).

I suggest you to have at least abdominal ultrasound, abdominal X-ray, blood work, stool test, stool culture test, urine analysis. Gastroscopy should be also considered.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
