What Do Bouts Of Diarrhea And Constipation Along With Stomach Pain Indicate?

IBS related hypermotility of small intestine
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern for GI symptoms.
Yes, CT scan is gold standard test for unexplained symptoms related to abdomen.
But in your case CT scan might not helpful to find cause for cramping pain in abdomen.
Cramping pain in abdomen with diagnosis or celiac disease related IBS suggest that such episodes of cramps occur due to rapid movement of small intestine which is common in celiac disease and this is same phenomena responsible for development of occasional diarrhea. Rapid intestinal movement is physiological condition and can not be confirmed directly on CT scan, although it can be confirmed by indirect evidences.
Treatment for such cramp episode is anti-spasmodic medication which not only control pain but also reduce intestinal motility to some extent.
You, not require any additional test to diagnose cause for this cramps in abdomen as it is related to IBS.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
Have a nice day!
