Hello,
Abdominal pain in the left side is commonly due to
diverticulitis. To feel better don't take alcohol, do not smoke and avoid addictions if any. Take small amount of food. Take antacids and PPI's for relief. Lemon juice also works well. Take spasmol (
spasmoproxyvon), one SOS when required. If
constipation, take laxatives. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get CBC, urinalysis and imaging tests (USG, CT, MRI and endoscopy) done.
Other medical conditions that may cause such symptoms are IBS, gastrointestinal diseases, indigestion,
lactose intolerance, kidney issues, etc. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected. In the meantime, do not take food that cause you discomfort or gastritis. Maintain for eating timetable. Dietary management is effective.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
