The signs and symptoms noted above seem to suggest One is eating 'Gas producing' and /or Difficult- to- Digest Foods. A good review of Diet, preferably with the PCP or Dietician will save One many years of G.I. Dysfunctional issues ; since one is still quite Young at 21 years.

May be food intolerances, gluten ,soy ,milk are the big ones. -eliminate soy for 10 days , then milk products for 10 days then gluten products for 10 days and see if there is a difference. Also consider H pylori infection can check stool or breath, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency or irritable bowel syndrome. Follow up with gastroenterology.
