Cramp after bowel movement

Hello,

My Mom is having this lower abdominal cramp after bowel movement. for maybe 2 weeks now. if she does not have bowel movement, the cramp won't be there.

She has no diarrhea and no constipation. Although, she is not eating fruits and vegetables because she will get more cramp with those. so without the fruits and vegetables she is slightly constipated.

She was diagnosed with colonic spasm years ago (maybe 20 years ago) with colonoscopy. and since then, it has gone, and now seems to come back.

she also has GERD.

Can anyone relate to this? I just want to gather some information . doctor said she might be chronically constipated even though she has bowel movement daily.

I'm so worried.
