Pain In Bowel And Stomach. Constipation Due To Tramadol. Foul-smelling Stools. Have IBS, Diverticular Disease

Hi I have a sharp feeling pain in my bowel and stomach pain across my belly button line which comes and goes and I am taking tramadol for another complaint which is constipating me but think if I wasn't I would be permanantly running to the toilet, and when I do go I always feel like I need to go again and it is really smelly. Any ideas on what this could be as I do suffer from severe IBS and a diverticular disease and going through a lot at this time and always feeling stressed and anxios and worrying all the time.

Thanks for using HCM
As you are diagnosed with IBS and diverticular disease, you need not have to worry now adays medications are available to control symptoms, keep them under control. since you are having constipation take more of fiber rich food and more liquid in diet. To reduce pain abdomen you can take spasmolytic medication. Consult your gastroenterologist for dose adjustment of your medications. Get well soon, take care
