About 6 months ago August 2016 I had severe constipation which forced me to visit my local emergency room and upon submitting myself to a test (x-ray) it showed that I was severely constipated and the doctor prescribe me Mira-Lax stool softner. fast track another 3 months later November 2016 I again suffered the same incident this time however I was determined that it was not as severe and simply constipation. I went like this for almost 6-7 days without a stool until I began to worry and began taking over the counter medication again I resorted to Mira-Lax and prune juice which helped. However this time upon emptying my stomach I felt different as if my stomach was swollen or inflamated. I can only describe the pain as if I had stiched my intestines back together being that I'm not a girl I'm unsure if this is cramps, but the pain as felt on all areas of my stomach and not a specific area. This is where it all began or at least the first time I felt this. 

I went like this for two weeks until I couldn't bear putting it on the back of my head and setup an appointment with a gastrologist specialist. Whom suggested I do a colonoscopy. Upon completed the colonoscopy he found no issues aside from a small polyp which he removed and said everything looked fine. I rested for about a month in which a this period I would still get ocassional stomach pains but I blamed the colonoscopy. I then contacted again my doctor and told him I still continued to felt the pains ocassionally it comes around like this I said "Monday and Tuesday I'm normal no pains then coincidentally out of no where I get the pain which is a sensation of bloatness, gas, with the pains as if someone had stiched my intestines back up or as if I have something inside pushing my intestines. He advise I get now a ultrasound to ensure no other organs could be provoking this liver, gallbladder etc. Again results came in and he said nothing out of the ordinary appeared. 

Fast foward to today and I am schedualing a cat scan to rule out any other possible things. However this is going to take 1-2 more weeks but I'm completely clueless as to what could be causeing this to me or was it in fact my intestines damaged due to severe constipations I had. However, I have not been constipated lately anymore and I feel no pains when going.

I have tried drinking, eating grease, unhealthy, eating healthy and drinking water but nothing really triggers it that I'm aware of or that I can point out. 

Would this be symptoms of IBS? or what test shoud I be asking my gastrologist to perform on me to better rule what it could be. Feel free to ask anything I could have missed to better respond to my situation. God bless everyone.

    Your symptoms could be IBS.  However, ask for an h pylori stool test to rule this out too.

    Hi i had similar problems many years ago and was diagnosed with Diaverticulitis.

    Though this sounds rather alarming it is quite common but normally associated with age. The older you are the more likely you are to have it, i was diagnosed with thios when i was quite young which surprised the doctors. Anyway long story cut short, i have been taking tablets now for years which do relieve the cramps in my stomach, if i don't take them it is very noticable.

    The best way i have heard this described is as follows:- it is like a parking spot on a dual carriageway instead of food passing staright through it stops of in the parking spot, then it builds up and causes the pains like a traffic jam until this is free to carry on the pain persists. I hope this may be of help with you diagnosis.
