Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. With regards to the bump that you feel on the left side it may be due to constipation. The fecal mass stacks on the bowel lumen and seems to be a bump.
2. you are reporting to have gas , stomach issues and rumbling. These symptoms may be due to ;
- gastritis/ulcers/GERD
- gallbladder issues
- food intolerance
If I were your treating doctor I would suggest to do :
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
Meantime I recommend to :
- eat often and small amount of meal
- avoid broccoli, beans, carbonated drinks
- use PPI's like Prilosec OTC
- increase physical activity
- take plenty of water
- try to loose weight
Hope it was helpful to you.
