Severe Pain After Every Bowel Movement

Posted by Blzeitlin @blzeitlin, Nov 10, 2012

I can't take this anymore. It has been almost 2 years and the doctors can't find anything. Whenever I have a bowel movement I am crippled for hours, many hours in pain and completely fatigued. CT Scans show nothing. My small bowel ruptured last year and I had major surgery. 6 months later I had surgery for an obstruction in my bowel. I don't believe they are related as I had the pain after bowel movements prior to the first surgery. I also have Diverticulous BUT not in the colon...my diverticulitis attacks have been in the small bowel. Anyway, I told you all of this just to give you all of the information...does anyone have any experience with stomach pain AFTER bowel movements? I really need help. Cleveland clinic Florida says they don't know what it is. Thank you

Thank you so much for your reply and I am so sorry you are disappointed with the results of your stay. I can't say this surprises me as we spend many years travelling the country trying to find an answer for my son, who at the time was suffering from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and nobody knew what that was at the time. Even then the pain with bowel movements was his main trigger. He eventually got treated in Missouri in the USA by the main doctor who specialized in this and he eventually did have some really good periods. But this last colonoscopy really triggered the pain again and this has happened in the past with colonoscopies. He has had several bowel resections for obstructions in the past but yet the doctors always say they see no evidence of Crohns in his intestines when they are inside his abdomen. I find it interesting that several people say they have this exact problem but nobody has any idea why.

I hope you find some answers. How did you get your response to get to my email? Will you get this one that way as well? Maybe we should keep in touch.

Have they done thorough testing?
MALS is another problem that can cause the vomiting. I have problems when I travel vomiting or feeling nauseous.... the system gets backed up.
If he is constipated I think he will feel the nausea or have the vomiting. I have a feeling if you go to the Mayo they will offer him a bag. Can you find any PT therapy with EMG to make sure everything is coordinating for your child to defecate properly? Anal Manometry test? I hope he can speak to tell you when he is suffering?

@les2024

Do you have problems with the defecting as well? I have the redundant and tortured colon. I am also having defecation issues?
I am on year 4 of problems after having h pylori and then surgery for adhesions and an appendectomy. Have you been tested for dysergenic defecation? Could it be backing up into your system. I had problems before taking Linzess. However, I am still feeling awful and headed to the Mayo to hopefully get some help. My situation leaves me with 3 hours of sleep is a good night…

My son also has severe pain after bowel movements. He has a long history with diagnoses of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, which he definitely had, and Chron's which I always wonder if that ever was the issue or not. The pain has gotten better for some periods and then returned, most recently after a colonoscopy/endoscopy a week ago, where they "stretched" a Shatzi ring in his esophagus. The terrible pain after bowel movements has come back since then. Has anybody with this problem found any answers? This has been going on since he was a very young child. He has had bowel resections (where they always say they don't see any Chrons) and is on multiple meds for Cyclic Vomiting and Chrons. Any help would be most appreciated.
