A member asked:
Gas n tightness in the upper abdomen especially the upper left part... almost similar to the gallstone gas problem i once had except there is no pain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gas: Gas entrapment in the colon where it takes a turn can cause discomfort in the left upper abdomen. Taking simethicone after meals prevents gas buildup in the stomach. If you can't pinpoint offending foods or continue to have frequent abdominal discomfort, see your physician or a gastroenterologist for evaluation.
