How closely can IBS mimic colon cancer?

I’ve been researching the differences in symptoms between the 2 and what I’ve heard is that the major different between colon cancer and IBS (in terms of symptoms) is blood in stool/rectal bleeding, weight loss and fatigue, but I’ve been also reading stories from people with IBS saying that IBS causes narrow stools, fatigue, nausea and vomiting (sometimes) and I’m curious if there are any more symptoms that appear in IBS that aren’t “talked about” thank you so much to everyone that answers! I’m just really interested in this!

    Biggest difference is that cancer is Never diagnosed based on symptoms alone but only after testing and biopsy.

    IBScan be diagnosed from symptoms alone.
