Inflammatory bowel : You should be seen and evaluated by a gastroenterologist. This is potentially the onset of inflammatory bowel disease, but before worrying about a specific diagnosis you need to provided a full history, undergo an exam which may include colonoscopy and have other tests. Good luck and hope this clears up soon.
