General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI.
The pain in abdomen and feeling to go to the bathroom after food always indicates that there is some inflammatory process going on in the intestines.
The commonest cause is appendicitis or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
I would advise you the following:
*Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests, thyroid function tests.
*Urine -routine and microscopy
*Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity.
*Ultrasonography of abdomen,
*Colonoscopy
*CT scan of the abdomen- helps in appendicitis.
All these investigations should be within normal limits for one to say you have IBS.
If appendicitis is diagnosed , get operated and you may be cured of the problem. If IBS , get a proper treatment .
