Interestingly, the: timing of your pain coincides with increasing levels of progesterone that occur after ovulation. One of the effects of progesterone is slowing down the peristalsis of the digestive tract. Food may stay in the stomach longer or reflux back up into the esophagus and gas may build up in the intestines. If you can eliminate foods that aggravate your symptoms, it may help. Antacids may also.
