Can kidney stones cause left abdomen pain and diarrhea?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes : Symptomatic kidney stones can present in various ways. They commonly present with severe pain on the side of the abdomen (flank region). Gi symptoms such as nausea & sometime vomiting may be seen. Diarrhea is not a common feature of kidney stone & can accompany many other symptomatic conditions which also cause abdominal pain. Severe or unresolved abdominal pain w/ diarrhea needs a dr. Evaluaiton.

Maybe.: Left sided abdominal pain certainly. Diarrhea...Probably not. Vomiting is often seen in association with kidney stones, but not diarrhea. "sounds" more GI related to me.

Yes,it can: Of course kidney stones can cause abdominal pain, the side depends on site of the stone.Diarrhea can be due to medication. Metformin can produce loose bowels.
