it's very different.

gastritis is upper GI symptoms. mainly pain short time after eating or pain relief short time after eating. nausea, vomiting

IBS is lower GI symptoms. diarrhea or constipation, bloated, lower GI pain which is relieved by passing motion.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome commonly causes cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. IBS is a chronic condition that you will need to manage long term.
Only a small number of people with irritable bowel syndrome have severe signs and symptoms. Some people can control their symptoms by managing diet, lifestyle and stress. Others will need medication and counseling.
Treatment options for IBS:
1) Hypnotherapy-Participants enter an altered state of consciousness, either with a trained professional's help or on their own (after training). In this altered condition, visual suggestions are made to imagine pain or tension going away. Efficacy, tolerability, and safety of hypnosis in adult irritable bowel syndrome: systematic review and meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis demonstrated that hypnosis was safe and provided long-term adequate symptom relief in 54% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome refractory to conventional therapy. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24901382
2) EEG Biofeedback--This strategy uses an electrical device to help people recognize their body's response to stress. Participants are taught, with the machine's help, to achieve a more relaxed state. After a few sessions, people are able to calm themselves down on their own. The gut has it's own nervous system (part of the Autonomic Nervous System) which communicates with the brain. EEG biofeedback train the brain to calm and balance its own activity, this has body wide benefits.
3) Psychotherapy/Counseling/Coaching- A trained mental health professional helps patients work out conflicts and understand feelings. For example, CBT is a form of psychotherapy that teaches you to analyze negative, distorted thoughts, and replace them with more positive and realistic thoughts.
4) Medicines-Medicine can help relieve your symptoms enough to prevent them from interfering with your daily activities. It may not be possible to eliminate your symptoms. Few medicines have proved consistently helpful, and all medicines have side effects. So medicine should be used for specific symptoms that disrupt your normal daily activities.
