Hi,

I think, you may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The kind of symptoms you have, are more towards IBS and it could be increased by stress or underline psychological disorder. In that case, diagnosis in your case, could be psychosomatic disorder. That means, psychological disorder is aggravating physical disorder. In your case, you can either try some antidepressant like tricyclic antidepressant or relaxation exercise after psychiatrist consultation. That would help you to control symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
