Hello since I was young at the age of 12 I started to suffer from problems regarding the bowel and with horrible gas pain, my bowels were "talking" strong and it was very embrhassing... lately I'm feeling something I never had before I think it calls prelastic of the bowels? (sorry for my english) I'm feeling that my bowels moves very strong I did only a colonscopy check what checks I have to do more? I think my stomach don't process well the food I'll thank any help

I think maybe he/she means "spastic" by "prelastic"?

Assuming you meant you have a lot of gas and diarrhea it could be lactose intolerance or possibly something like Celiac disease.  There are tests for both.  If you are not a (Northern) European caucasian and you have digestive problems it is probably best to assume that you are lactose intolerant and avoid all milk products.  Only a small fraction of people can eat as much lactose as they want as adults, for everybody else it acts as a laxative, with the extent varying a lot from individual to individual.  If you are lactose intolerant you are likely also to have similar symptoms if you eat sorbitol (found in diet gum, for instance) or some other (for you) indigestible disaccharides (sugars like lactose made up of two smaller sugars stuck together).  

There are a lot of other possibilities though.  It would help to know where you live, your ethnic background, your current age, what you eat, and any other health problems you might have.  

Also writing so that we can understand you would help.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I don't understand what "talking strong" is and I have never heard of "prelastic of the bowels" before.  Are you constipated or do you have diarrhea?
