I am not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask this but I thought I should give it a try. So I am M 27 and I have a chronic case of constipation. I am not sure what's causing it. I have to drink lots of water and also take psyllium husk daily.

So there are these episodes of abdominal pain that keep happening. Like I would spasms in my abdominal area with intense pain. In each episode, it starts light and then grows with time. Reaches full intensity in like 3 hours. During this, if I eat anything I just vomit it out. The only way to fix it is to get a powerful painkiller via IV, which always puts me to sleep. I am telling you, everytime it happens it feels like I am gonna just die.

I have consulted a gastoentologist who said that it's due to constipation, but I always feel bloated and it seems like there is something wrong with my gut.

Has anyone experienced an episode like this? I was reading up on IBS and someone mentioned that it could be it.
