Dear sir you seem to be having a type of inflmmatory bowel disease. You must change your food habits and timing to suit your digestion till recovery. Sometimes lifestyle modifications (proper diet, exercise, sleep and reducing stress) are all that is required. If you comply, your digestion will get better including irregular bowel movement and abdominal discomfort. There are medicines thelp but they will not work so well without the additional lifestyle changes. Meanwhile you can add take isaphgol at night, which may help clear your bowel. Do contact if you need help with proper lifestyle modiication.
