Poor eating habits is the last on my list of problems. Maybe raw vegetables are more likely the cause of my LLQ. It is an easy sling to tout off your underlying opinion of the general population but unhelpful unless foods you suspect contributing to a poor died are named. Taking anti-rejection drugs as I do or others drugs that irritate the colon could be listed as well.

I had lower left side abdominal pain for about 20 years! I saw a gastroenterologist , my family doctor, had lots of tests done. They couldn't find anything. Now my doctor has since retired, and I had to find another doctor, during my first visit I had to inform him of my history. I almost didn't tell him about my daily pain because I had put up with it for so long, but I did. He suggested cutting out coffee, and anything with caffeine in it. I am not a big coffee drinker, maybe one or two a day, so I didn't think it would work. But, guess what! A week after my visit, I am pain free. I hope it isn't just a coincidence! No coffee for me! I am so happy, and I'm haven't taken pain meds since!

I am 5 years down the line & after having various, extensive tests ranging from blood tests to colonoscopy & gastroscopy & lossing 3 stone in the last 2 years & still continuing to lose it I am still told time after time "its IBS"!!! I never get hungry. I can eat the smallest portion & be uncomfortably full. I only eat sometimes as my blood sugars get low & I have the shakes. I also used to enjoy a little drink (of alcohol) on a weekend. That has now stopped as my stomach can't handle it anymore & I always have to do a "tactical vom"!! I really don't know what else to do now. Anyone with any ideas??? Please?? Thanks. Nicola.

Hello ladies, I have also been dealing with this issue for the last three years. Had an x-ray, ultrasound, rectal exam, HIDA scan, blood work, all turned up with nothing. Went to a GI doctor who recommended the FODMAPs diet-- it is a strict elimination diet of several foods. Within two or three days I felt so much better. You can gradually add foods back into your diet to see what your body does and does not respond to. A few days out of the year I still have an episode where I feel bad, but a few days compared to every single night before trying FODMAPs is what I call vast improvement.

I have been having lower left abdominal discomfort for the past few days. It feels like there's something inside. There isn't any sharp pain or whatsoever. My doctor said that it is constipation. But I'm passing motion regulary on a daily basis.

I've had tenderness or just pain in a small area of my lower left abdomen (a lot like the picture) and it started about a month or two ago. It only lasted 2 days and was very painful. now it's back but much less severe! What could it be?

hi my age is 21 .last one day to still im having a stomach problem its very severe in my stomach left side.friends if any one vl tell what is the solution for this cause

Nicola, my name is Rochelle. I am a diabetic and most of the nerves in my stomach do not work. Only about 20% of what I eat gets digested in one hour. It is called Gastroparesis and it stinks. But giving up caffeine has helped some. However I am not feeling well at the moment!
