colon pain with gas

t aware that laying on their right side can cause gas to build up in your colon and form a gas bubble. The way the colon is shaped and with the gas rising upward, when laying on the right side it gets trapped in the ascending and transverse sections of the colon and is not as easily expelled as it is when laying on the left side. I recommend trying some OTC treatments like beano, gas X, prilosec, prevacid, Mylanta, mylox etc. for a few days.

It feels like a rectum pain with very loose stools lately.

I avoided spicy foods and food that causes gas. I took Gas-Ex from time to time when the gas pain was severe. I took Pepto Bismol when I had diarrhea and cramping. I also took over the counter acid reducers for heartburn. My recommendation is to ask for a referral right away to a gynecologist and find out what other tests should be completed to further evaluate and treat the cyst.

is the pain in right or left quadrants due to colon cancer constant or dull and daily coming-going kind?

Gas pains are relieved by passing gas and there is usually a sound or a feeling of movement along with it. Colon cancer stomach pains are usually in the later stages of colon cancer. At your age with your symptoms colon cancer shouldn't even be considered as a possibility.

I have had lower pain in my left side and around my back for 5 days. It feels like gas but took medicine and did not help. it hurts when i eat and then have to go to bathroom what could this be?

I've been having pain and discomfort in my lower right abdomen and colon area. There has been some feeling of pressure and some sharp pain as well as some dull and a few times prickly pain. It is increased when I have gas bubbles passing through that area. I'll get the pain and then alittle while later, I emit the gas bubble externally. The other times I get the pain is when I'm stressed, believe it or not.

Your description of bloating is apparently from intestinal gas produced by your digestion. Sometimes, your digested food can be delayed in your colon from being expelled as waste. A bowel movement should remove most of the gas. Difficult bowel movements may mean you have chronic constipation. And the more pressure you put on your stomach muscles trying to force your dry bowels to move, the more you feel your stomach muscles tightening.

The severe abdominal pain sounds like constipation and gas...constipation CAN casue you to feel bad if it goes on for long enough...(to just feel as if you are of poor health in general). My husband has severe swelling of his hands and we think it is caused from his Triglycerides being very high. The lateness on your period could just be from stress...used to happen to me all the time. Good luck!!!

I just noticed that when I feel anxious I fill up with gas and the day after I wake up with colon irritation. I do remember that occasionaly I did have these symptoms but they will go away after 2 days. I didn't know what IBS was. Nowadays that I figured out that I might have IBS the symptoms are not gone. I forgot to mention that I have regular bowel movement in the morning normally two times per day. I have no diarhea but stool is very soft. I drink a lot of water approx 2ltrs/day.

I have been pooping narrow stools for a week and persistent gas pain or hunger idk how to distiguish one from another. I dont feel pain while pooping ang there is no blood in my stools. However I feel a lump in one side of my anus the moment I wash off after pooping but there is no pain when I touch it then it is gone after I go out of the toilet maybe it went back inside the rectum. Any insight would be deeply appreciated.

s very annoying. This causes gas to build up and the pain is rough. Past couple days I have been doing breathing excerises along with situps just to get things moving and that seems to help relieve the pressure. Thanks For The Advice About grape juice I will give it a try, it can't hurt!!

39 yo female. Lower abdominal pain for 4 days. Getting worse daily. Hurts worse when things move thru colon. Be it gas or to have a BM. To walk I'm fine. However I can't run. It hurts. To laugh, hit a bump in car, cough etc.... Hurts and have to hold my stomach. Today added a new symptom. When I sit it shoots pain up my rectum into my lower abdomen. Not sure what's going on. Any ideas? My BM's are normal. But to strain or move anything thru my intestine hurts.

Trapped gas normally causes pain under your left rib cage as this is where the colon takes a downward dip, allowing gas to get trapped. Gas is more painful than a dull ache. Is your doctor treating you for the gas? There are medications that break up gas in the intestine. Taking a look at the colon is often the only way to see if there is any inflammation, or abnormalities. Hope this helps and take care.

It all started on Wednesday when i woke up with a stomach pain. The stomach pain is almost gone now, but the flatulence scares me a lot... I tried to find the reasons for the flatulence and what i have read is that it can be symptom of colon cancer... The stool for now is OK. I really want to know the first sign of colon cancer. What I've also read is that all this can be stress related and I've been under stress for a long time almost falling into depression... Please help!

I'm a 46 year old male. About 5 weeks ago, I notice a dull ache about 3 inches to the right of my navel. I'm naturally a worrywart, so my attention has been focused on that much of every day since then. On a scale of 1-10 the ache is about a 1 or 2 most of the time, an occasionally a 3 or 4. It is intermittent. I can go hours and at times a few days with no pain. Then there are days where it seems it's on and off all day and for many days in a row.

I have a hard time passing gas also. I have to strain to pass gas and it never seems like its all out. My stomach is constantly "bubbly" and I have a serious urge to go to the bathroom all the time, however when I go to go little to nothing happens but I notice that even though I didnt "poop" when I wipe it seems mucusy? It seems to take about 4 to 5 days before I can go just a little and in that time period the pain is severe.

You may have IBS or something else depending on if you have have any lower abdominal pain with the gas. Just try to hang in there!

it ussually starts with really bad gas pain, my stomach will distend and I will be almost imobilized by the pain, this lasts about a day. after that I will have very bad constipation, I will feel like I need to use the bathroom but nothing will come out this last anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. its like having diareah(sorry about the spelling) but with no relief. after that I do get diareah that will last about five days.

Moving around helps with the gas. But I think I would contact your GI about the pain in your stomach.

Well, the good news is that the appendix is on the right side. http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/stomach/appendicitis.html http://wiki.answers.com/Q/On_what_side_is_your_appendix That said and referenced, the pain on the left side is more likely to be your descending colon. You should definitely see a doctor about this. I have IBS, so I know what I'm experiencing when I feel pain in my colon. But, since this is sudden and new to you, you should definitely see your doctor.

Can anyone assist share with me how to deal with excessive gas, I am very mindful of my diet and has recently started to exercise. My periods are no longer painful since starting the pill, however from first day of bleeding the gas pains are so severe that standing upright is excruciating Any help or advice? Please, anyone?!?

You have a common issue with spasming colon and quick moving bowel. People with constipation would pay for this issue!
