What Could Abdominal Cramps And Brown, Pink Smooth Strained Bowel Movement After Dinner Indicate?

hello. Im currently 23 years of age, male, from Philippines. After i went home from (10pm to 6am) night shift duty, I ate spicy noodles and bread. Suddenly after eating, i experienced abdominal cramps that lead to my bowel movement. The stools at first were brown, then there was a pink smooth portion above the normal stools. It was the first time that happened to me.
My diet history that night: 8pm meal - Fried Chicken, Rice, Water, A glass of Coke, Lanson (cassava cake with grated coconut, buter)
2am snacks - Potato Chips ('Outback'), Puto (steamed rice cake), Water
My bowel movement history that night: I had difficulty on defecting, so i strained a little, and it was a success.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Pink smooth thing in the stool and abdominal cramps are quite characteristic for intestine intussusception. This is a kind of issue where intestine invaginates into itself. Due to it, there can appear abdominal pain and sometimes gas and stool obstruction. It can be caused by food intake and can come and go.
Sometimes it indicates a tumor of small intestine therefore you should not ignore your symptoms.
I suggest you to visit gastrologist and have abdominal CT with oral contrast (enteroclysis).

Hope this will help.
Regards.
