Unlikely appy: Appendicitis is something that usually comes, stays, and becomes a big problem. It does not usually come and go. It's also usually does not cause significant stool changes except maybe diarrhea at the time it is inflamed. It sounds like it would be very beneficial to see a G.I. Specialist as there is a few problems things it could be. Ibs, crohn's and ulcerative colitis are all possible.

No: Mesenteric adenitis can have similar symptoms to appendicitis but an appendectomy is not necessary unless there actually is appendicitis.
