Abdominal pain / Stomach cramps

Hi everyone.

Here is my situation:

It all started about six years ago.
I’ll get hit with sudden, intense abdominal pain, followed by spending 15 to 20 minutes in the bathroom—which is a huge change since I usually only need two minutes. It’s mostly diarrhea, and afterward, I feel completely empty. Then, I won't have a bowel movement again for two or three days.
During those 15 minutes, the pain is excruciating, but then it suddenly subsides and everything feels fine again.
This used to happen maybe once or twice a year, so I didn't bother seeing a doctor.
But over the last month, it has been happening every single week. That means four times this month alone.

I'm starting to get worried. Could this be Chronos disease or something similar?
There is no blood in my stool.

I plan to schedule an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, but before that happens, I would appreciate any advice or insight you might have.

Do I have a serious reason to worry??

Thanks a lot.

Here’s the deal:

It started about 6 years ago.
Out of nowhere, I get this massive, sharp gut pain, and then I'm stuck in the bathroom for 15-20 minutes instead of my usual 2. Usually, it's diarrhea, and I end up feeling completely "empty," followed by nothing happening for 2 or 3 days.
During those 15 minutes, the pain is brutal, then suddenly it just vanishes and I feel fine.
Back then, it only happened once or twice a year, so I didn't bother seeing a doctor.
But lately, over the last month, it's been hitting me every single week—that's four times this month already.

Now I'm getting spooked. Is this Chronos disease or something else?
There's no blood in my stool..

I'm planning to call my doctor tomorrow, but until I can actually get an appointment, I'd appreciate any advice or insight you guys have.

Should I be seriously worried??

Thanks a lot.

Probably just IBS, but it could be something else...

Check out some alternative treatment forums—I think you'll find more info on MMS over there. Later.
