What Causes Pain In Lower Left Abdomen?

My husband woke up this morning with a pain in his lower left abdomen. Mon, Tues, Wed of this week we both started a fiber supplement (Equate brand) in the morning. He experienced bowel movement normally until Thursday morning when he had none. He has no fever, but he has vomited liquid. He ate vegetable soup at lunch and although nauseous after, he did not vomit. He took a 2 hour nap and felt better when he woke, but when he sat up and drank some ginger ale, the pain began again and he vomited the ginger ale.

Thanks to HCM
I can understand your husband concern

pain abdomen on left side is due to indigestion of diet ,ie colic ,due to spam of colon ,,here you are taking fibre rich content you need to have drink sufficient amount of water along with it

lack of sufficient water during digestion leads to this complications . ok
I would like to suggest avoid 2 or 3 days that fibre supplement diet

,let the pain will be controlled with antispasmodic like buscozest and
nausea will be controlled with anti emetics like ondensetron 4 mg orally for 3 days if persist

once pain subsided continue fibre diet slowly along with suffient water . ok don't worry .
