Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
You are saying that :
- you are obese
- currently having extremely painful spasms on left side of stomach
- when putting your hand on abdomen, you feel like baby kicking
All the current problems you are having are due to excessive gas and colitis attack.
I advise to :
- avoid foods that would trigger /aggravate your actual symptoms like oily, spicy, fried, coffee, chilly, beans etc
- avoid carbonated drinks
- do not use straw to have your drinks
- take antispasmodic medication like buscopan
- take antacids to stabilize stomach pH and simethicone to ease gas
- use probiotics to optimize intestinal flora
If the symptoms will persist, then further examinations are required to determine the final diagnosis and adequate treatment strategy :
- abdominal ultrasound
- colonoscopy
- fecal culture
- complete blood count
Hope it was of help!
