Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
From your description I understand that you probably suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
IBS is a chronic disorder that affect the large intestine it cause occasionally abdominal discomfort and cramping; alternating constipation and diarrhea; gas; bowel movements that feel uncontrollably urgent, it relieve the ache; mucus on stool, etc.
The causes and risk factors for this syndrome are: food e.g. milk, cabbage, fruits, carbonated beverage, fats, alcohol etc; stress; being under 45 year old; being women (you didn’t mention here your gender); family history; anxiety.
For a better evaluation of your problem I recommend you to consult with the gastroenterologist.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
