A member asked:

My left side and the left side of my lower back has been hurting for a few days i have gas and when i eat i have to go to the bathroom bowel move .?

Need more info: Are you having loose stools? Do you have mucous or blood in stools? How long has this been going on, and what other symptoms may be occurring. You should see a GI doctor. You are at the age where a colonoscopy would be appropriate screening even without symptoms.
