What Causes Intermittent Dark Diarrhea And Abdominal Bloating?

I have had some bloating and diarrhea on and off for the past week. No fever and some very mild abdominal discomfort from the bloating. No major pains. Stool is brownish/yellow in color. Drinking water and urinating frequently. Urine is clear. Not sure if its something viral or infection or something else.
