Brief Answer: It may be Irritable bowel syndrome Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for the query. I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today. I am so sorry to hear that you are suffering from these uncomfortable problems As per your medical history of fibromyalgia and above problems, I would like to think about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). But this is a not a serious disease. A mild tummy infection is also a possibility. I advice you that you should see your doctor to confirm and meanwhile if you can ask for stool routine test to rule out mild infection. Hope this helps and provides answers to your question. I wish you good health. Dr. Alok
