I am having 6-12 bowel movements a day, severe abdominal cramping, nausea, heartburn, difficulty swallowing at times. I burp alot and it taste discusting. I have a lot of gas and questionable rectal bleeding. I have had a cough for months with no sinus drainage or anything of that nature, is that related to the hernia.

Signs and symptoms of gastroparesis are
heartburn
pain in the upper abdomen
nausea
vomiting of undigested food—sometimes several hours after a meal
early feeling of fullness after only a few bites of food
weight loss due to poor absorption of nutrients or low calorie intake
abdominal bloating
high and low blood glucose levels
lack of appetite
gastroesophageal reflux
spasms in the stomach area
Eating solid foods, high-fiber foods such as raw fruits and vegetables, fatty foods, or drinks high in fat or carbonation may contribute to these symptoms.
The symptoms of gastroparesis may be mild or severe, depending on the person. Symptoms can happen frequently in some people and less often in others. Many people with gastroparesis experience a wide range of symptoms, and sometimes the disorder is difficult for the physician to diagnose.
You should see a doctor asap. Maybe go to an Emergency room if your weight loss is so great.
