Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.

It appears you are suffering from an irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome typically presents with cramping abdominal pains, bloating, gas, diarrhea alternating in most cases with constipation.
However, irritable bowel syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion because the bowels appear normal but functionally not okay and so other diagnosis have to be excluded first; such as gut infection, food intolerance etc.
Irritable bowel syndrome treatment is not specific and focuses on the symptomatic relieve of symptoms. Diet and life style modification are key factors which you should discuss with your doctor if the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome is confirmed.
Hope this helps you.
