Late menses: Irregularity of menses, including late or missing periods may be due to multiple factors, including some underlying infection. Your GI symptoms may be the cause of this, even if it is transient. The vaginal discharge may be one of several things, including BV, trichomoniasis or other issues and would best be evaluated and treated by a gynecologist. Hope this helps.
