Brief Answer:
No serious problem....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history and can say as following:

1. You actual intestinal issues are not worrisome. There might be various factors causing it including:
- diet (containing more fluids)
- any new food introduced
- stress
- hormonal changes

2. I advise to continue with Zegerid and add buscopan/papaverin to ease the pulsating feeling.

3. Be careful with foods, especially avoid those that will alter the pH of stomach and aggravating the symptoms.

4. I also advise to run :
- urine analysis to exclude urinary tract infection
- abdominal ultrasound
- upper endoscopy

if symptoms won't subside.

All the best!
