Question : I have had digestive issues since many years..and i ussually go to have a bowel in the morning when i wake up..then again after breakfast..and then again in the evining..the evining bowel usually came with bit burning in stomach area and cramps.my family members said the morning short interval bowel is just a bad habit.so i tried to go one time.but it dint help infact worsened so i have been continuing the same since years nw.
Recently i had serious stomach problems.gas build up,cramps,and reflux,feeling tired and constipated with increased pain in evening cramps.
Went to a gi and had an endoscopy which showed h pylori causing gastritis.the doc kept me on 2 weeks medication that is the tripple therapy..at that time while taking medicine i felt normal and my awkard problems gone..i was back to my XXXXXXX routine of 2 bm in the morning and one in the evining.after the medicines were over...i had the same problems again with gas build up and reflux..then the doc prescribed a laxative with pariet...i was fine again while taking the medicine for another two weeks...
Nw the medicines are over and i have a serious new problem.gas build up causing cramps and morning diarrhea..i dont knw wether its realy diarrhea
I wake up with strong stomach pain.with a bit solid or watery stool.,
Then i have to go 3-5 more times and this are accompanied by strong cramps...and the stool gets more and more watery..
The fisrt and second movement also have huge cramps...and they are massive in content..i.e a lot of stool..i just wonder wether no food is utilised in my body and all is going to waste...because the amount of output is greater than what i think i ate...
The doctor gave me nexium but it doesnt help the diarrhea at all...in fact i think it worsened...
I have an appointment next week with the doc but i am currently suffering alot and cant understand what the problem is...i have uploaded a copy of the report..i have troubles of burping all the time nw..gas cramps..indigestion..stomachache and uncomfortable throat

Brief Answer:
Partial bowels obstruction can be the reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From you description the problem can be in the small intestine. Such symptoms can appear due to partial bowels obstruction caused by inflammatory bowels disease. Cramps are quite characteristic for this condition. Especially if you also have temporal gas and stool obstruction (so your abdomen gets bloated before the cramps).
The second possibility is the chronic infection of intestines. Nexium (or other PPIs) when taken regularly can lead to such infection. That is why you should have stool test done at first. Avoid any milky products. And if the stool tests will be negative, CT enteroclysis and colonoscopy should be done to make sure there is no obstruction or inflammation.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
