GI cause: Symptoms are not very specific for a single cause but are related to your GI tract, possibly a food intolerance such as lactose.  These are not symptoms you would see with an aneurysm and you are much to young to be at risk for this.

Question 7

what can i do for severe stomach pain on upper left side?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Anyone with "severe stomach pain" should be evaluated by her doctor.  The Emergency Room can evaluate severe stomach pain, if the primary care or regular doctor is not able to help right away. Many things are between the belly button and the bottom of the ribs, such as the:  liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen, pancreas, duodenum, transverse colon, abdominal wall muscles, etc...

Question 8

since a few months, my mother is having stomach pain in the upper left side or in the center of her abdomen that comes and goes. she always feels bloated/swelled often & she sometimes feels nauseous. what is the likelihood of cancer? possible causes?

Accepted Answer

: Constipation can cause the symptoms you are describing. Not sure how old your mother is but, assuming these symptoms are new, she probably should be examined by her doctor. She may need to see a stomach doctor to rule out other causes of her symptoms. Cancer is just one possibility-there are certainly benign causes-but you want to get her diagnosed and treated regardless of the cause. Good luck!

Question 9

my mom gets constant bloating, stomach pain (upper left side & center), occasional nausea, and lots of gas since 2 months. doctor thinks it's acid related. does her situation sound mode concerning than that? what are the possible & likely causes?

Accepted Answer

: My first thoughts would be lactose or gluten intolerance rather than hyperacidity Have her first omit dairy foods and if not improved, omit gluten which is predominantly a nonwheat diet. Taking simethicone 1/2 hour after meals prevents gas buildup as well. Drinking hot water tends to break down gas so it can pass through the intestinal tract &amp;out the rectum. Applying heat to the abdomen also helps

Question 10

stomach pain at the left bottom side?

Accepted Answer

Colon: Pain in your left lower abdomen is usually from your colon. It can occur with constipation, infection, or inflammation. Kidney problems can also cause pain in that area. If it is severe pain please seek treatment from a physician in person. I hope this helps.
