Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
There are 2 major possibilities that you may have developed.
One is an infection which may be causing the pain, and nausea, and the abnormal stools.
This would need a treatment with antibiotics so as to clear up the infection, thereby clearing the symptoms.
The second possibility is having a condition called IBS. This is characterized typically by stool disorders with abdominal discofort, occasionally accompanied by nausea.
This is practically a diagnosis by exclusion and needs a period of three months to be confirmed as a possible cause- so mentioned second
