Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms can be caused by bacterial infection of gastrointestinal tract or inflammatory bowels disease like Crohns disease. Crohns disease is more possible if you also have blood in stool, low hemoglobin level, bloated abdomen.
Please do not ignore your symptoms as this might be serious issue.
Visit your doctor and have some tests done. Blood work, stool tests and abdominal ultrasound should be first. Colonoscopy seems necessary.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
