Irritable bowel: You may have what is called irritable bowel syndrome which may be worsened by stress. Try exercising regularly and consuming more fiber in your diet. If you were older, i would have advised a colonoscopy immediately. But at your age, a colonoscopy still should be considered if the above measures failed.
