I am 46 years old and for the past 5 years or so I have been having pain/discomfort on and off on the left side of my abdomen
under my
rib cage. I feel very bloated, full of trapped gas. I usually notice it more after eating, and it can last for several hours, almost always with episodes of needing to pass gas and diarrhoea (never constipation). My appetite, sleep and health are generally all fine otherwise, with no noticeable weight loss/gain, no fatigue, no fever.
