Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Abdominal Pain On The Left Side Indicate?
I have pain on the left side of my stomach. I had antibiotic for my intestines about 1 month ago for a flare up. It seemed to work but I still have constipation . I am taking a fiber mix with water in the morning and a probiotic pill along with 2-3 fiber pills / day. I am 50yrs old
If you continue to have constipation it explains the pain you have. Constipation and meteorism hurts most of the time. Here are some advises I can give to you:
Use plenty of water, orange juice, apple juice.
Use daily: kiwi, fig jam, Muesli,
Avoid: bananas, fast food, eggs
Use fiber mix everyday and also your probiotic pill for short term. You can also try for short term senna tea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
