Hello XxLovinLifeX,
I strongly suggest that you schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Changes in your normal bowel habits, abdominal bloating and nausea are symptoms that must be evaluated.
Regarding blood in your stool- do you see flecks of blood in the stool or blood in the toilet water or on toilet tissue when you wipe?
Black stool usually means that the blood is coming from the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood usually suggests that the blood is coming from the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract.
Common causes of abdominal bloating can include constipation, gastroesophageal reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, overeating and a bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
The common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are cramping, abdominal pain, bloating gas, diarrhea and constipation.
It is possible that you may have IBS. Only a physician can determine that.
