Left Abdominal Pain: Need Advice

Has anyone else ever had left pain right under the ribcage and where the abdomen connect? (trying my best to describe where it hurts) I can literally feel gas moving all throughout my belly. Is this pain normal or do I need to make a doctor's appointment? (it's hard to take off so much time from work with all these different symptoms 😫) coming to y'all for advice first ❤

Talked to my gastrointestinal Dr. This morning. She said sounds like an IBS flare up. She said I'm in no danger and I just need to eat a bland diet until I can calm my stomach down. Now just to tell my anxiety that I'm okay 😥 because she also said the stress and anxiety makes digestion worse. I'm a very sad bean right now 😞

If you mix some baking soda with water and drink it. It helps to pass gas

Yes I used to have this pain frequently! My doctor referred me to a GI doctor and had me start taking fiber capsules and peppermint oil over the counter. Sounds like a strange combination but it helped the pain a lot!

I often have this pain! Though I don’t know if it’s normal or not. If you are worried and cannot get an appointment I would suggest calling and getting a nurses advice over the phone
