Probably IBS: Ibs is characterzied by pain/cramping, altered bowel habits in the absence of specific organic disease. Other symptoms common to ibs include bloating, gassiness, frequent/urge to have bm, early satiety, dyspepsia symptoms etc... Often = nuisances, but can be debilitating at times. Symptoms often worsen with stress. Try some probiotics/align. If not better or u r concerned, consult doc.. Good luck.

I think: Your condition is abnormal. You should be seen by a GI specialist to exclude conditions such as ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease. I don't think it is related to stress.
