It sounds as if you may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Your symptoms fit that description, nausea, diarrhea and sometimes constipation. Please read below for more information. IBS is more common in women than men. It sometimes runs in families, like if your mother or grandmother had it you have a better chance of having it, too. If it continues for much longer please make an appointment to see a doctor. There are medications that may help you deal with this, as it is a lifelong problem. Good luck.

What are IBS symptoms?

The primary purpose of the gastrointestinal tract is to digest (break down) and absorb (take into the blood stream) food. In order to fulfill this purpose, food must be ground, mixed, and transported through the intestines, where it is digested and absorbed. In addition, undigested and unabsorbed portions of the food must be eliminated from the body.

In functional diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the grinding, mixing, digestion, and absorption functions are disturbed to only a minor degree. These functions are essentially maintained, perhaps because of a built-in over-capacity of the gastrointestinal tract to perform these functions. The most commonly affected function in these diseases is transportation. In the stomach and small intestine, the symptoms of slowed transportation are nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating (the sensation of abdominal fullness), and abdominal distention (enlargement). The symptom of rapid transportation usually is diarrhea. The interpretation of symptoms, however, may be more complicated than this. For example, let's say that a person has abnormally rapid emptying of the stomach. The sensing of this rapid emptying by the intestinal sensory nerves normally brings about a motor nerve response to slow emptying of the stomach and transportation through the small intestine. Thus, rapid emptying of the stomach may give rise to symptoms of slowed transportation.
