Recently I've been having episodes where I'll be totally fine to suddenly having to rush to the toilet and then I'll have terrible diahorrea. Out of nowhere. It'll last for two or three days and during that time my lower abdomen will feel bloated and tender.

No one food or drink seems to trigger it. Although I do notice I have some mild nausea for about a day before it happens. But during the 'attack' I still have an appetite and want to eat. I don't feel ill as such. Just uncomfortable.

I get an episode like this about once a month to every two weeks. WTF is it?

You would need to see your doctor for tests it could be ibs or something worse like crohns disease ect hopeully not but i think you should see the doctor its the only way to find out for sure , i have crohns disease an i used to think it could be ibs but if its crohns its best to know , if its ibs thats not serious even though it can be painful an annoying for people but doctor will need to rule out other things first then they would say its ibs as there is no test for ibs , its just ruling other things out first im affraid
