I have a stomach ache on the left hand side, which increases just prior to breaking wind then relieves.?

Question

Any ideas?
Had for 2 days so far.

Answer 1

well anything lasting longer than a day could be something more serious than a simple case of indigestion. and im not saying it is but i would definately get it checked out if possible because it is better to be safe and know whats going on then to wander around not knowing and possibly damaging yourself.

Answer 2

Constipation, try having a number two.
Do you always get it after eating certain foods? Do you work nights?
Working nights causes havoc with your digestive system as you are not doing your normal daily routine
It could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome bought on by certain foods keep a diary of the foods you eat and see if any foods have the same affect.
It could just be trapped wind keep farting and you will feel better.

Answer 3

the pain is caused by congested intestines, because of malfunction of the pancreas.
as you may know pancreas is on the left hand side so this causes the pain of the congested intestine to be on the left.
try avoiding too much of sweet food, but eat a little bit more of man's food which is bitter, and drink whisky or Guinness.
