Strange symptoms in stomach
Hello, for years now I've suffered from debilitating symptoms in my abdominal region and I've seen different Doctors and so far nobody has been able to help me, very frustrated. :( Every morning without fail between 5am til 8am my stomach begins cramping extremely bad as though I need to have a bowel movement but then when I get up and sit on potty the feeling goes away and I can't go. So I go lay back in bed and in a matter of minutes the cramping comes back, then I can evacuate a tiny bit and this will sometimes last until 2-4 pm before I finally feel empty enough to go on about my day. A lot of times too I will feel so sick to my stomach during this that I even vomit. Diagnosed with gastroparesis, depression/anxiety, recently Chrons disease and fibroids/endometriosis. In 2012 had gallbladder out bc they thought that could be the issue, and just recently July 26th had surgery to have multiple fibroids removed along with endometriosis which was all over my bowel and bladder and my Ob-Gyn said I should be able to go to the bathroom without any more issues, not happening, at least thus far. My GI doc wants now to send me to a colon rectal doc to see his opinion. So tired of going to dr appnts though. :( I also am currently taking prescription pain meds for my back and leg pain but this happens when I'm not on them. Also have pain in stomach when this is happening. Is it possible to retrain the bowel to go potty at different time of day? Any thoughts advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks.
