I'm not an expert but it sounds like IBS to me. Definitely try going to the doctor.

That sounds like IBS to me. You should see a doctor for sure. He will be able to tell you a lot more, give you good advice, make sure it isn't anything serious and also give you medicine that could make you feel better. Tell your mother that you think something is wrong with your digestive system.Best wishes

I am the mom of a 14 year old girl who has identical symptoms to yours except her pain can be anytime during the school day. The constipation/diarrhea and nervous trigger is classic. Have you noticed that you can have that same response to a fun or exciting event too? Although it sounds wrong, fun things are a type of stress too. It's enjoyable "stress" but can cause the same symptoms. If you see a doc, you can get help in managing this at school with bathroom privileges and test taking options, etc.
