Questioning if it's actually IBS
I am a worrier. I've gone to the doctor for a few different things I was convinced was wrong with me and each time they tell me it's stress and anxiety. I was diagnosed with IBS, no specific tests for that diagnosis though, just me telling my doctor my symptoms. I had a lot of blood work done, everything came back normal, doctor actually said excellent. I worry that the IBS symptoms I experience could be something different, like maybe my liver. If my liver enzymes were in perfect range, could I still have problems with my liver, like cirrhosis? Should I feel confident that I'm in good health and I just have digestive issues and nothing more? My brain goes to liver problems to bowel cancer to stomach cancer, etc.

Dear reader , As u already mentioned that u are a worrier and u are a lot worried about your health , which creates an anxiety state and we start to  think more on every single physiological event happening in our body . Having gastric problems on and off along with anxiety are suggestive of IBS , and if all your blood profile is normal u don't need to worry much about your liver and other organs.
Next Steps
u should start relaxation exercises and regulate your meals and visit a psychiatrist for evaluation of anxiety and get it treated.
