I am a 20 year old female for years i have had nausea, abdominal pain, excessive foul smelling flatulence, and now abnormal bowel movements. the stool i have been having for roughly about 2 months now has been loose, floating, sometimes black, oily?

Irritable bowel syndrome probably is most likely, but celiac disease (gluten intolerance), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), lactose intolerance, and other disorders causing poor absorption of nutrients are possible. See a doctor, ideally an internist or gastroenterologist. Good luck.
