Many possible causes: Symptoms of IBS vary in individuals from bloating to cramping as well as changes in stools. Irritation of the stomach or colon can cause pain in the left upper abdomen; best to have evaluation with a doctor to determine the cause.

Pain: Pain that is sharp and localized is often not related to the gastrointestinal tract. That pain could be related to the abdominal wall, muscle pain, or inflammation of the lining of the abdomen. Check with your primary care doctor for a more definitive assessment and plan.
