For the past 5 months I have been experiencing major stomach pains. At first it started about once a week and from there gradually became every day. At the time I was taking miralax for ibs symptoms and was also on the ortho evra birth control patch. So I concluded that it was the patch and took it off. I was fine for about a week after taking it off, but then I started getting stomach aches again. I noticed that when I took the miralax my stomach pains were more severe, so I also stopped taking that, but my aches never went away.

Right now I experience severe stomach cramping when I wake up that is only relieved by a bowel movement. Also I notice that my stools are abnormal because they are sometimes green, have white mucus, and have a very odd smell. And there is an urgency to have to go to the bathroom. I also notice that I have to urinate more frequenty during the day. Normally it is relieved by a bowel movement, but lately my stomach aches last most of the day. The left side of my stomach has sharp pains. I notice I have a lot of gas especially at night before I go to bed. I went to the doctor but they couldn't find anything wrong with my blood tests and x-ray. (i'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I get severe cramps when I have my period that doesn't go away with any medicine or heat like it used to.)

this happens every morning so it makes it hard for me to have a life. I had to quit my job because of the pain. If anyone has any idea what this is or has experienced similar pains. Please reply to this message. Thank you!
