General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Recurrent spasmodic pain in abdomen needs a proper diagnosis as the causes can be:
Ureteric colic due to stone or stricture in ureter.
Intestinal obstruction.
IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome.
These can be diagnosed by the following:
Get an opinion of a General Surgeon.
CT scan of abdomen is of a great help.
Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy.
Tests of blood, urine and stool.
All these will help to get a probable diagnosis and a plan of management.
If all the tests are normal then the diagnosis is most probably IBS and then you need to have a proper control over anxiety and stress.
If a specific cause is found then it will be treated specifically as per the findings.
