Hello,

These symptoms are also related to constipation that you are having.I feel that you should consult a gastroenterologist and get yourself evaluated for mainly IBS(irritable bowel syndrome). Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized by mild to severe abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alteration of bowel habits. Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate (classified as IBS-D, IBS-C or IBS-A, respectively).

Treatment includes addition of more fiber in your diet,cessation of smoking and taking stress,antispasmodic medicines,antidiarrheal medicines,antidepressants and new medicines like Alosetron (Lotronex) and Tegaserod (Zelnorm).

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
