Please clarify...: Have you been recently diagnosed with an incarcerated hernia and you think it was inadequately repaired or is back? If so, it may be worth a call to your surgeon. Your alternating diarrhea/constipation may however be something else entirely and warrant reevaluation by your gastroenterologist.
