Have stomach.Feels like gas because any time I bend over or move my stomach hurts.Had several bowel movements in the past 12 hours. Soft stools but not diareah They smelled like perm solution. Pain started around midnight and now at 4pm still have stomach pain but not as severe. Cannot walk at speed I normally do due to the pain. What could it be? Had appendectomy when I was 17. Had a hysterectomy 4 months ago. This is the second time this had happened
