I will try my best to answer your everywhere are 2 major possibilities that you may have developed. One is an infection which may be causing the pain, and nausea, and the abnormal stools. This would need a treatment with antibiotics to clear up the infection, thereby clearing the symptoms. The second possibility is having a condition called IBS. This is characterized typically by stool disorders with abdominal discomfort, occasionally accompanied by nausea. This is practically a diagnosis by exclusion and needs a period of three months to be confirmed as a possible cause-so mentioned second hope this helps you.
