Hi and thanks so much for this query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort at least three days per month in the last three months with two or more of the following symptoms: improvement with defecation, onset associated with a change in frequency of stool, onset associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool If your symptoms fit this description, then this is what you have.
I will not want to go ahead and provide specific education on this without hearing back from you. If you get to confirm this, I will then provide more advice on this.
