These are my symptoms upon arising;

1. I feel completely bloaded and extremely distended, as if a ballon was inflated in my stomach, this feeling is only releived by going to the bathroom, however only temporarily and tends to build right up in about 1 hour.

2. Number 1 is also accompanied by a feeling of inflammation in my intestines.

3. If I dont take fiber I only go to the bathroom in small tiny clumps.

4. When I do manage to take fiber that day, the matter is alot bigger because of the fiber but only the first 2 bowel movements the rest are like number 3, in small clumps.

5. I have from 8-10 bowel movements a day, from arising till about 5 pm, and then they decrease to about 1-2 until bedtime at about 10:30 pm.

6. I sometimes get diarreah for about 2 bowel movements after lunch, however its not normal diarreah because I return to the regular small clumps.

7. I tend to get very bad irritation and burning in the colon after spicy meals, this is what I cant

understand, because I cant find anything on it, and the only thing that helps is Pepto bismol and accompanying it with some chamomile tea.

I recently noticed a mass in my rectum which I can feel on the outside and it goes into my rectum, is this a hemmorroid?

Also I have been hospitalized twice in 2004 with severe left quadrant pain and seen numerous doctors about it and nothing has been found. (This is apart from my digestive disstress).

I have had a colonoscopy done in 2003 ct scans in 2003, upper gi in 2006, ultrasounds in 2006 and nothing comes up as well as other blood and stool tests.

I stopped going to my family doctor because he said it was all in my head, and the GI specialist was rude and would only give me fiber and tegaserod which did not work.

They both said it might be IBS or related to my anxiety.

I have tried so many diffrent over the counter drugs and remedies to no avail, I have boxes full of stuff.

What can I do? I've ran out of options
