What Causes Frequent Abdominal Pains At Night?

At 1:30 AM today I woke up feeling very hot with abdominal pains. On the toilet I soon felt faint. Experienced a mild need to puke but didn t. I had a normal (solid) bowel movement. Stayed up and soon felt fine. Returned to bed about 4AM. At 5:30 AM woke up with abdominal pain again. Not hot this time. On the toilet I felt mild light-headedness. No puking feeling this time. Had a generous solid bowel movement. At 6:05 had abdominal pain again. Third solid bowel movement. Very mild fainting feeling and mild feeling I was going to puke. The abdominal pain felt just like it does when I am very gassy. On those occasions I pass lots of gas and fell better right away. This day I did not pass any gas. I feel okay the rest of this morning. However, I m concerned.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
With the history of pain in abdomen and passing motion every time but without gas this time indicates that it was just loaded colon may be a with a mild amount of colitis of whatsoever cause.
Since you are concerned and with the past history of gases trouble it is better to undergo a few test under the guidance of a Gastroenterologist: Viz.
Colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen.
Other tests of blood, urine and stool, particularly to rule out diabetes and intestinal infection.
