Is this normal for an ovarian cyst or possible intestine issues?

Hi, So in the beginning of February I began experiencing  bloating (I looked pregnant) indigestion, and a lot of burping. My bowel movements were sparse and pencil thin. Gas x did not help. After a couple weeks of not getting better I went to urgent care and right away he did an x ray and found my ascending colon was all backed up due to a possible impacted feces. He told me take miralax as if preparing for a colonoscopy. I did and I got a lot out and was real crampy but then my right side starting hurting incredibility bad (I've had two kids drug free and this whole experience has been worse) I went to the ER they took blood and urine samples, did am ultra sound and an xray. Everything was good except the xray showed one spot in my colon with a minor blockage. He told me to do miralax one more time. The whole week I felt terrible so I went to my DR. who said theres nothing she can do, referred me to a GI specialist and told me to go the ER if I vomit feces. Freaked out I went back to urgent care and he did more bloodwork and ordered a contrast catscan. The catscan said everything was good except my uterus is somewhat prominent and may need an intra vaginal ultrasound. But when he called me he said my results were good and I possibly had a virus. I called on monday to get an appt for the pelvic exam and couldn't get in until April 24th! Tuesday I went to the ER with pain in my right side and light headiness and told them about my history so far, they did the pelvic ultrasound and told me I had an ovarian cyst that ruptured on my right side but to still see a GI specialist, I may have something else going on with my large intestine. I saw the GI yesterday and he seemed unconcerned with the ovarian cyst but was more concerned that I lost weight and scheduled a colonoscopy, but that isn't until April 28th so now I'm still bloated and burping and worried. Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the reply! I'm feeling pretty much the same with less bloating. I managed to get an obgyn appt tomorrow! It's an hour and a half away but I don't care.:) my gi didn't say what he thought it was, he spend 5 minutes with me asked if I have family with colon cancer (I dont) then said I need a colonoscapy. I'm trying to get another gi appt too I can't wait that long for it. I'm going to ask about h.pylori. I looked it up and you don't detect it with a colonoscapy but I breathe test. Thank you!

Feeling any better? It's hard to say if this is cyst related or not since symptoms can run the gamut. Did your GI doctor mention what conditions this might be? H-pylori is one that comes to my mind.
