If he moves too quickly, or going over bumps in the road while driving, his innards move all around causing more discomfort/pain. He has rebound pain when pushing into his abdomen and letting go quickly.
If it was as easy as pooping more, we'd have solved this after the first week. Since July 7th this has been going on, with 3 trips to the hospital (with 3 CT scans, and 1 four-day stay), and numerous doctor visits, and now procedures. My guess is the colonoscopy will find more acid issues. Who knows what else.

I'm no doctor but it sounds very similar to diverticulitis with an inflamation.
I was diagnosed with this before my colonoscopy(which eventually turned up clean)
Basically its little sacks thhat can form on the intestine that if something gets stuck in them such as small nuts they can get infected/inflammed which causes some SERIOUS pain.
So bad that I ended up going to the emergency room for it as I couldn't take the pain anymore.
Many people go along time without knowing they have it but its at least partially attributed to diet.
