A member asked:

I have this burning feeling in upper abdominal area. i'm worried that something is stuck in my colon. what can i do?

See your doctor : Upper abdominal burning is generally associated with disorders of the stomach, gallbladder or upper small intestine rather than the colon. Lower gut symptoms are typicall localized around the belly button or lower.
