What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Pressure?

In three months, I went from having solid, hard stools every few days to having narrow, soft, sometimes wormy-looking stools twice a day. if I eat anything. It very bland foods. I get stomach cramps or feel pressure in my abdomen and look bloated. I also have an itchy rash on my neck and sometimes hands and feet that appears after eating certain foods, which I never had before, that comes and goes. I recently had two O & P cultures, and a Giardia culture, both of which came baCk normal, and had a normal colonoscopy last year. My cat, who goes outside, recently had roundworms, and often sleeps in my bed. Is it possible that I could have contracted them as well? If not, then What else could be the cause?
