What Does Pain Below The Navel Indicate?

I am not sure if I have appendicitis or irritable bowels. I do feel better after just going to the bathroom. I had a large stool. Basically, I have been working on losing weight for the last month. I changed my diet and fasted for a day. I have been taking oat meal for breakfast with berries, green vegetables for lunch and dinner with beans, tuna, salmon, or chicken. I know I have a fatty liver. I went from 200 to 185 in about 3 weeks. I am a 43 old man with a height of 5 10. I work out doing a three mile hike in the morning. It use to be everyday. But it stopped when I got these abdominal pains. I only go when I feel well. I went this morning. I felt well before. But I got the pain after. It is a dull pain below my belly button right side that radiates to the lower right. I had bad financial experiences with the emergency room before. But if the pain gets really intolerable, I will go. I am working tomorrow.

hi sir,as your symptoms are not extreme and as passing stool has relieved the pain,you can wait and watch for 1 more day.just check if there is any swelling in the area of pain.even an umbilical hernia can present like this.it can also be amoebic colitis.for pain relief you can have dicyclomine with paracetamol combination(cyclopam,spaslin,beralgan etc.).if the pain aggravates persistently or other symptoms like loose stools and vomiting several times,fever,dizziness,blood in stools occur,please do have a physician's consultation.hope you recover soon.any further clarifications from my side,i'm always here to answer.thank you.take care.bye.
