Uncomfortable Blocking Feeling In Stomach, Hard Spot Near Belly Button. Constipated Bowel Movement Or Diarrhea. Serious?

my bf has difficulties with his intestines
It is not real pain but his belly feels uncomfortable as if something is there blocking it. He also seems to have some kind of hard spot on the left side in the height of his belly button
his bowel movement is mostly constipated or diarriah - sometimes with a fatty film on it
