A member asked:

What could be causing pain in upper left abdominal muscle, excess gas and visible peristalsis. going on for 1 year now. postpartum related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider constipatio: You may want to consider constipation as a cause. Unlikely related to post partum for a year. You store stool on the left side of your abdomen before you evacuate it out of the rectum.
