Diarrhea, mucuous, gas

So, I am only 19 and am at my first year of college. Well about two weeks ago I began to have diarrhea every night. It would only happen at night though and it wasn't painful and nor did my stomach hurt like it normally would if I hate something my body didn't particularly care with. Well, about a couple days after that the gas began to get worse and eventually I was just kinda farting out yellow like mucous.

I don't get the diarrhea every single night, but it is pretty much consistent. I didn't have it twice within the past two weeks. I am not totally sure what is going on, because I am not eating totally different, but yet every night i seem to have this problem.

I just need some advice on wether or not if I should wait to see if it goes away or talk to a doctor.
Thank you for who ever answers.

Hi, probably it is colitis due to either bacterial or protozoal infection. Try antibiotic containing combination of ciprofloxacin and tinidazole or metronidazole twice daily for 5 days.

Get stool routine microscopy done before starting antibiotic therapy. If no relief is seen in 2 days after start of therapy, do consult doctor.
