Sounds like you should be consulting with a Gastroenterologist. Please set up an appointment if you have not already done so.

Definitely an inflammatory bowel disease appears likely with many other possibilities in the differential, including infectious or drug related for example. Tight follow up with both your primary care doc and gastroenterologist is recommended.
