It sounds like it could be IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. Could also be something else. You need to have a physical exam in the office and have your stools checked for blood. More history also needs to be obtained. Florida has excellent gastroenterologists and I would see one in the office to get a firm diagnosis and treatment.
