Digestive problems for the last couple weeks... help plz, doctor fails?So I've had abdominal discomfort for a few months (heavy feeling on right side, lower) and recently (couple weeks ago) everything unraveled... It started out with abdominal swelling, yellow diarrhea, and abdominal pain.. In the last 4-5 days the symptoms have heightened, I now have extreme abdominal bloating, i have a tiny stool every 2-3 days, and just major constipation and discomfort meanwhile... constantly feel majorly bloated and uncomfortable.. I've been waking up in the middle of the night 2-4 times and i stay awake for 30-90 minutes after due to the discomfort and being unable to pass a stool... Do you think this is just constipation or IBS? not IBD? My doctor recommended some anti-gas med and said I'm okay... I've tried it many times and it just gives me a headache... meanwhile I played doctor myself and have adjusted many things... I tried milk of magnesia, I drink more liquids, I've been pushing more food, I take 8-10 benefibers a day, and I've been walking to promote regular intestinal functioning... NOTHING has worked and it seems to be getting worse...
Please advise :(
I want to sleep tonight :(.. anyone?

Sorry you feel so bad. I think you may really need to get a second opinion at this point. Maybe see a specialist. Something isn't right and you need to find out what so you get get some relief. It could be IBS, but you need more info so you can find the right treatment. But I'm sure I'm not saying anything you don't already know. I hope you get this worked out soon. Try not to let it drag you down anymore than it already has.
