What Is The Cause For Bloating With Pain On The Left Side Of The Back?
hello I feel very bloated with pain on the left side of my back, not sure if it has something to do with my gallbladder or because I am obese. Dr says I have to lose weight which I am desperately trying to do but with this bloating and back pain all I want to do is sleep. any suggestions please?

Hi,
The back is outside of the abdomen. One possibly could have a large cancer in the kidney that could cause pain and bloating, but even then, bloating isn't that common with it. A change in diet with more fiber, vegetables, fruit is treatment for obesity, gall bladder and bloating.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
