Your symptoms could be due to many different causes. If you have both constipation and diarrhea at times, along with stomach discomfort, this may be irritable bowel syndrome. There are other possibilities-like inflammatory bowel disease-that can cause similar symptoms. You should see a GI doctor to have an evaluation so that your symptoms can be diagnosed. Treatment can then be given. Good luck!
