A member asked:

Can gas cause a bulge the size of a golf ball to come and go around the left side of my ribs? my dr said its probably just gas and that's all she said

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, and: Yes and constipation can contribute. The observation that it "comes and goes" is the key-you know you're dealing with something moving along through your colon: solid material/fluid/gas. (as opposed to a more ominous fixed mass like a tumor).
