Periods suck!?

IBS (and yes I enjoy it as one of my many medical problems) can motive a number of the symptoms that you hold going on but I would recommend that you consult a gastroenterologist (a dr that treats diseases and conditions of the stomach and intestines). I don't know if this is the dr that your primary care dr is have you see at the local hospital but if not please request a consultation next to a gastroenterologist to see if they can help you amount out what is going on.

Nervous and Hopeing?

You need a referral to a gastroenterologist. While the differential diagnosis of your symptoms might include IBS, you do not mention alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhoea. a hallmark of irritable bowel syndrome.

You nouns more like IBD, inflammatory bowel disease. Not treated alike as IBS at all. IBD is a residence that covers crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and diverticulitis, and some of these can present in ways that can massacre you, or make yo want to die.
