HI. Thanks for your query. THe most probable cause of severe pain in abdomen with irregular bowel movements and gases can be a form of gastroenteritis. I would advise you the following: Take a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole and supportive and symptomatic treatment This may resolve your problems sooner. If no relief you have to undergo the following tests: Blood- routine and Widal Urine and stool tests in details. Ultrasonography of the abdomen Endoscopies if required.
