What Causes Severe Leg Cramps, Abdominal Distention After Meals And Bowel Incontinence?
I have been having pretty severe leg and cramps , lasting from seconds to up to 3minutes. Also weight gain with distention after meals, especially in upper abdomen. Occasional (3+x per week) incontinence of bowel, small stool, but no feeling or urge. Also daily headache responds well to ibuprofen 600 mg Could all of these symptoms be related and if so what should I stress when seeing a doctor
