Hi, i have exactly the same symptoms as you. I have had it for a long time aswell, im not sure exactly what it is, but the doctor i saw said it was IBS, but im not sure about that. Every morning, gassy stomach, need to go to the toilet, not feeling satisfied afterwards. Its quite painful sometimes. Have u ever almost defecated yourself  because of this? This has happened to me only once, but all the other symptoms are almost every day! Let me know if you know anymore. Thanks

To: both
there are many ways to deal with ibs and many ways to deal with loose stools but if your doctor will not give u a straight answer or is not helpful and understainding to your ibs symptoms G0 and find a more educated doctor who understands ibs and how to treat it.
make sure u are also tested for celiac disease simple blood test
and have your thyroid function tested as well

an appointment with a gastrologist is the best place to start to get this under control

look after yourselves
