Brief Answer:
No worries, ultrasound to exclude abdominal mass.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query

What you describe fits much like a functional colopathy or an irritable bowel syndrome.

These conditions are marked by accumulation of gas in intestines causing distension, pain and bloating and constipation and at times diarrhoea. It is caused by troubles in coordinating intestinal motility.

Treatment involves taking much water , vegetables and fruits. Medication like Trimebutine, phosphoglucinol and excess water are helpful.

Exercise is good for the digestive system. I suggest you see your doctor for an abdominal ultrasound. and book appointment with gastroenterologist.

thanks and king regards
