welcome to Health care magic.
1.It seems like you need a medical care as soon as possible.
2.30-35 times passing stools is not at all normal.
3.you are giving a history of 3 years ( hope you are on some medication)
4.If you are my patin t i would ask for a stool sample ( to rule out any parasite or presence of any bleed ).
5.Your pain/feeling on your left side is due to the underlying bowel symptoms i think.
6.Get an abdomen pelvis ultrasound get done to rule out few causes.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
