Hello!

Thank you for the query.

You are very young person so any serious disease is hardly possible. Back pain is most likely caused by urinary tract infection or spine problems. If you have also frequent urinating, burning while urinating, lower abdominal pain, urinary tract infection is very probable.
Problem with bowel movements can be caused by bad diet or chronic bacterial infection (which can be misdiagnosed as an IBS). If nothing has changed in your diet, bacterial infection seems most probable.

Here is what you should do:
- increase fiber rich products and mineral water intake
- start probiotic supplementation
- ask your doctor about Rifaximine 400 mg 3x1 for 7 days treatment
- if it wont help, stool test and stool culture should be done

You should also check your urine for infection.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
