bowel problems :(

Hi
I'm 18 yearls old and just recently; a month ago.
I started to have too many bowel movements i have to pass air all the time. I'm currently a  student and its so hard for me to attend my lessons having this problem. It puts me under so much pressure and only some days it would be ok and other days i just have to miss out on my lessons my parents tell me its because  i think of it too much but even when i dont think of it it still happens even when i just try to ignore it.
I really dont understand its driving me crazy :( I've been to the GP twice and i was prescriped some peppermint tablets which didnt help i have also been to a chinese doctor which gave me some herbal medecine which didnt help either. I dont understand....my mother has this condition called colonescopy but it is quite different to what it happening to me right now . I just really wish someone can help me. I have never had a problem like this before, is there any way to treat this and i have also cut down on any fizzy drinks and i have been eating more healthy than before

the acid can cause you to have loose bowels due to the acid building up in your body it can make you feel weak tired and sick,IBS is very similar but it can either make you contispated or have diaoreahh,it can also send the worst kind of pains through your body and shivers,the reason you cannot focus is because you are so worried about this issue,it can be very embarrassing to talk about but please do go to the doctor

thank you very much , but can u explain to me what a gastro acid problem is exactly and am I not too young to be getting signs of IBS and is IBS meant to have such a big effect I can hardly focus in my lessons. Even when i do attend my lessons I cannot focus because of this problem, is it supposed to be like this when you have IBS ?
sorry for the many questions

It could be the change in your eating that has caused this extra movement you are experiancing,but it could also be signs of IBS,ask your doctor to arrange a coloscopy so that they can investigate further,or you could just be going through and gastro acid problem which can also be treating by your doctor
