Back Pain and Bowel Movement

I have:
1.  Lower back pain centering between my hip bones
2.  Is sometimes relieved by a bowel movement or gas
3.  Bowel movements are usually normal loooking, but sometimes odd colored, but not bloody
4.  Pain is worse during menstrual cycle
5.  Is worse when lying down.
6.  Sometimes have an urgency to have a bowel movement especially right after eating
7.  I have a history of anxiety and am on medication for it
8.  I have occasional bouts of heartburn, but since being on anti-anxiety meds is much better
9.  Sometimes have weird taste in my mouth, can't describe it.
