I've been having a lot of stomach issues for the past year. Anytime I eat I feel the urge to go to the bathroom within 5 minutes. I sometimes have the runs other times it just passes easily. I haven't been constipated, as I will pass at least two poops a day. I went to the doctor bc I thought I had gallbladder issues so I had a ultrasound and they said everything was fine. At that time I weighed 200pds and she suggested I change my diet and avoid grease. I did that for a few months maybe until March and I lost weight but I believe that it was due to actually eating healthy which I never ever did bc I was a major picky eater and only ate frozen pizza or meats and junk food. It was the typical college kid diet of bad food that I believe helped me weigh 200. Since eating healthy I still had stomach aches and my stomach would gargle loudly and I'd just feel like I had to go to the bathroom at a moments notice. Well it dawned on me that it was breaded foods that seemed to make me feel those urges so I cut out bread and I actually felt better and had more what I'd consider normal poops. So I've been gluten free for about 2 months and I've been on and off with my stomach. Some days I feel fine while others I feel like I'm at square one again. I do believe I have the slight skin rash with gluten on my shoulder (keratosis pilaris) but I do not break out in hives or anything rash looking. I'm currently weighing in the 180pds and I lost weight in my face. I'm still worried but not at the same time bc I am eating healthier than I have in my entire life. I'm hoping someone had the same issues or suggestions.

Also a part of me thinks it could be chrons? I have neck aches that I believe are lymph nodes but they are not large and bulging out of my neck. They are tender once and awhile, and I've had the groin ones become tender but only for A day maybe. This could be related to myself freaking out bc when I make that terrible mistake of diagnosing myself via Google I see only the worse things. I must note that I've had no fever, sore throat, rash, night sweats and haven't puked or felt like I have the flu. Its mainly digestive issues when eating. I suppose it could be ibs or anxiety (I'm a over thinker / worrier) bc my grandpa has stomach issues as well without and idea what causes them.
Please help? Lol
