Left upper: The splenic flexure of the colon takes a sharp turn in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen and gas bubbles can be trapped there(splenic flexure syndrome). Try avoiding eating after supper and take simethicone after that meal in order to reduce intestinal gas formation. A gastroenterologist can better evaluate and advise you about this distress.
