Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
These symptoms are not usual for such young people and I would suggest work up that inlcudes Colonoscopy and CT scan of abdomen.
In most cases this is seen in irritable bowel syndrome which is a benign condition, but some other more serious colon inflammatory diseases my be considered especially if you have frequent blood in stool. These are for example Crohns or ulcerative colitis.
You should try to regulate your digestion with probiotics(natural probiotics include yogurt), drink more fluids and follow high fibre diet, fruit vegetables and milk products..
Wish you good health.
