I think it's related: in general, to your constipation. This implies some sluggishness in the colon and that can feel like a little pressure which would, typically, be felt in the lower left abdomen. Eating triggers the gastrocolic reflex...contraction of smooth muscle in the large bowel/colon. Work on constipation: lots of water, more fiber, more exercise. It should improve...
