I have a situation. I don t know if it s IBS or what, but my stomach is messed up. My bowel movements are irregular and when I do go, it is almost always a loose stool accompanied by constipation/pain on my left side (intestine/colon). I find myself on the toilet 6-7 times a day. I also have issues ingesting food/drinks - as it doesn t want to go down sometimes - what I would suspect to be heartburn or acid indigestion. It s all really embarrassing. I m 29 years old and otherwise in good health. I need some guidance as to what it could be and who I should go see?
