What Causes Pain In The Left Side Of Abdomen, Sore Back And Bloating?

i have pain on my left side of my abdomen about even with my naval. It is sore around my back left side when i move certain ways. It is worse at night making it hard to get out of bed, and wakes me up. It was better yesterday while i was up and about. I assumed it was a pulled muscle from swinging an ax however I also have some bloating and loose stools. Is there a way to determine if it is a muscle or an organ?

Hi,

I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude.


Now I guess you have left lower quadrant pain, bloating, loose motions


There are lots of pathological causes responsible for it.


However, let me give my opinion here.

As per your history is concerned my opinion will be like this if I were your treating doctor,

1)eliminating high gas foods-carbonated beverages, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and raw fruit

2)Eliminating Gluten in diets

3)avoid FODMAPS(ferment able oligo di and monosaccharides and polyols)

4)fiber supplements-take fiber supplement methyl cellulose with fluid to control constipation, if this does not help add osmotic laxative like polyethylene glycol(D-PEG syrup which contains polyethylene glycol 3350 13.125 g, sodium chloride 0.351 g, sodium bicarbonate 0.179 g, potassium chloride 0.447 g.) It is available without any prescriptions.

5)Anticholirnergic and antispasmodic-Dcyclomine can be given to control intestinal spasm

6)Antibiotics-you can take (Rifaximin tablets along with Metronidazole and probiotics lactobacillus for 7 days course and increase up to 14 days)

7)Do regular exercise daily.

For this you need expert's guidance by your local doctor

Hope this helps.
