Hello,
Get an ultrasound abdomen to know if there subacute intestinal obstruction of bowel or not.
There can be an obstruction in the upper gastrointestinal tract which is causing you all these symptoms. Go to near doctor to get examined your abdomen to know if there is tenderness or swelling present.
If there is a subacute obstruction there could be little edema of the intestine due to infection which can be treated with antibiotics or steroid depending on the etiology.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Archana
