gas

Avatar n tn i get sever abdominal pain on my left side right below and around my ribs.... the pain gets so bad its hard to stay still, i have diabetes... what could this be? and what could be causing it?
Avatar m tn The only way to diagnose IBS is by your symptoms and trapped gas causing pain which is relieved when passing the gas is a biggie. Look at what you are eating and drinking on a regular basis and eliminate one thing and see if this improves....if not add that food back into your diet and remove another...this is how you will find out if it's food causing the problem. Other symptoms of IBS is constipation or diarrhea and alternating between the two.
Avatar m tn Also does anyone have these symptoms with them, abdominal pain (mine on left side where I had a abdominal hernia repair but get some slight pain on other side too, also have ibs), crampy feeling, bloating, gas, tenderness when touched in that area and a sensation of pulling? Also eating is a pain. I have to eat small portions. It hurts when I sit down especially and lying down is no fun either.
1030353 tn?1262485688 A few things you could do about all this is, next time you get that pain in your guts, take an ordinary alka seltzer, it releases gas from the tummy if any is in there, and since gas can cause a lot of pain, it might help. If you still have pain, try chewing some Tums and then drink some water, helps with excess acid.
Avatar f tn ve been occasionally experiencing a particular abdominal pain that feels like a line from my navel to my pelvis (sometimes I feel it in my pelvis, too). It lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, I'd say, and whenever it comes on, I'm afraid to move because it feels like I'm going to split in half. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn My husband is having severe abdominal pain in his lower right side it has been going on for 2 days now and the pain is getting worse. I took him to the ER and they said that everything looked fine! Its not gas he is using the bathroom like normal. Now the pain has moved over by his bladder. Can any one help?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn ve had an abdnormal amount of gas and odd stool.. more like diarhhea... but not much, if any, pain involved. The amount of gas, though is rather ridiculous. I felt better on Friday and thought I was getting better but today the gas returned full force with stool that passed like toothpaste from a tube and was long and sort of pencil-like. I feel fine except for the activity going on in my intestines. I don't remember anything quite like this and I have no idea what could be causing it.
Avatar m tn For many years I have had abdominal pain and the doctors can find no reason for this pain but usually after several months the pain goes away. This time the pain seems to go on and on. The pain is on my left side but sometimes radiates to the other side. I have gas, crampy like pains, and bloating. My left side abdomin is very sore and hurts when you touch it or press on it. It also feels like it burns and when I move it somtimes feels like something is pulling on my abdomin.
Avatar f tn hi- I have these pains every now and then. I cant pin point if its something i eat or drink but i've been to the doctor before and all let tell me is that sometimes gas gets trap in that area. I've just taken gas-x and the pain in relieved. I hope this will help.
Avatar n tn should I worry about a swollen/dilated pancreatic duct, though have upper abdominal pain swelling gas and pain,bile in stomach,in pain everyday..Plus digestive problems with excessive gas,trapped gas in intestines?
Avatar f tn I too have similar issues with pain and tenderness in abdominal area. No problem BMs though. My pain is always in the right upper quadrant. Gone through all the tests and only shows some narrowing in the area of the aortic root near my duodenum. My gastro dr. is sending me to surgeon for laparotomy too. I have had several of these procedures many years ago when I had endometriosis. The procedure isn't that bad.
Avatar n tn Hi - My 11 month old son has been having severe abdominal pain and gas at night. He can't tell me what's wrong, but I can tell from his writhing that's his abdominal area that's causing the pain. He screams and screams. It's only been happening for a month or two. I think it's due to dairy and 'gassy' vegetables.
Avatar f tn It is causing me a lot of problems, discomfort and pain. The pain is up against or under my ribs and I often feel like I have a pinched side on both sides. Kind of like when you swim after eating. I can't even walk, really. Not normally, I waddle like a duck. Does anyone here have this same problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I would so greatly appreciate any ideas, suggestions or advise.
Avatar n tn m not sure what is causing this pain (especially because it has been going on for a year!) but one thing that I did think of is gas pain. Gas bubbles can be very, very painful and they would be relieved by walking around. You may want to try an over the counter gas relief medication before you go to sleep and see if that helps. Good Luck.
Avatar f tn I have recently started having some stomach problems. Around 2 months ago I was experienceing lower left abdominal pain which felt like gas and bloating, which presisted untill about 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago everything I would eat started giving me indigestion and my stomach started to spasm and cause pain under my upper left and right rib cage. I started taking prilosec and antacids about 6 days ago. Starting yesterday I became naucious and have lost my appitite.
4700214 tn?1361170956 s a bit young, but gall bladder can cause upper chest area pain and abdominal pain which can last 5 minutes to hours and hours. It's an awful pain. Ask about her bowel habits and if that's all fine, I'd see the doctor just to be safe. It could easily be pulled muscles but if you can even do a walk in clinic, they can rule out anything serious.
Avatar m tn ) - Took her to the ER last week due to inordinate lower abdominal pain, sometimes more prevalent on the right side. VERY BLOATED!! CT scan of abdomen/pelvic area proved negative. The pain has since subsided - but oh the bloating - can hardly fit comfortably in to her pants. Gas / bowels maintain regular. GI apt next week, but with a negative CT scan, what should we expect?
Avatar f tn m., I had pain in my abdominal area, apparently i was moaning in pain while I was sleeping before I woke up because he was already rubbing my stomach. I'm frequently sick(colds, sinus infections, once in a blue I'll have a stomach bug) and I get cysts every now and again its not too common for me, but it wasn't severe as ovarian cysts, it was still very painful.
Avatar n tn Since last September (2009) my 13 year old daughter has had terrible abdominal pain. At first they thought appendix, rushed her to the best hospital in the area. Finally they said "oh it must have been a ruptured ovarian cyst." Well it never got better, in fact much worse. She was in so much pain she could not respond, we've been to numerous hospitals even Oregon Health Science. Where they finally decided it was all in her head.
Avatar f tn I am having really bad cramping and a sharp stabbing pain in my abdomin I am not cramping in my uterine area. .. it almost feels like being constipated times 1000. I can't figure out what is going on or Wyatt could be causing this. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn m not sure about the fever or chills you may have some type of bug that could even bee causing the abdominal cramping. If you have been constipated or less than the usual amount of bowel movements you can take a laxative to start things going. I am not sure if but if you have had diarrhea and vomiting don't bother listening to me you don't want to get dehydrated after all.
Avatar f tn PVC's started 2 years ago for me. I can tell I have gas backed up under my rib cage (both sides) pushing out. I have had so much in there it felt like I had a basketball in there . When that happens PVC's all over the place, and I'm thinking it is causing an overcrowding of the heart and sends it into a funky rhythm. And they don't stop until I take Gas-X or something similar and decompress my upper abdomen.
