Left Side Pain

[Nancym]

Just curious if anyone else has this since it seems the right side pain got a lot of "me toos"!. I've been feeling odd in my left side. It isn't really pain, just feel more like... being poked with a finger in my innards. That is the side with my one remaining ovary so I'm going to ask for a thorough ovarian/uterine cancer screening. But sometimes it feels more like it might be intestinal.

I feel like my abdomen is definitely bloated still and I have been gluten free for 3 months, dairy free for a week.

Any ideas? I'd say it is usually about on the same level as my belly button but over to the left a couple of inches.

I HAVE PAIN ON MY LEFT SIDE JUST ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE SAYING AND SOMETIMES A BIT HIGHER. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL MOST OF THE TIME THAT MINE IS COMING FROM GAS. IF I TAKE SOME MAALOX OR GAS X IT SEEMS TO HELP AND I START TO PASS ALOT OF GAS, THEN THE PAIN GOES AWAY. YOU MIGHT TRY THIS, BUT DO GET IT CHECKED OUT. I HAD TALK TO MY GI DOCTOR ABOUT IT AND HE DID TAKE X-RAYS AND A LOT OF GAS POCKETS SHOWED UP ON THE X-RAYS. HE IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO TAKE THE GAS X OR MAALOX. GOOD LUCK

I get that when I have gluten, and for me, it is gas....it goes "away" after a while.....lol....

I'm a left side pain person.

I suffer from lots of gas bubbles and get pains anywhere from the lower abdomen up to the armpit and pectoral area. I've been to the Dr. many times and even wore a Halter monitor for 24-hrs to check-out the old ticker and everything is fine (with the exception of the gas pockets). I hope that as my intestine heals I notice less pains and get back to feeling like a "normal" person again.

Can anyone else relate?

THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE CELIAC, WAS HAVING SUCH PAINS THAT I WAS SENT FOR A HEART STRESS TEST DOPLER TEST ETC. HEART CHECKED OUT OK AND THEN THE DID X-RAYS AND FOUND ALL THE GAS POCKETS. THEN OFF FOR A ENDOSCOPY AND BLOOD TEST. THOSE GAS POCKETS CAN REALLY GET YOUR ATTENTION AND DOES FEEL LIKE IT COULD BE THE HEART DEPENDING ON WHERE THE POCKETS OF GAS ARE AT THE TIME. MUST SAY THAT I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL ABOUT HAVING CELIAC, BUT IN AWAY IT WAS A RELIEF THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND NOT MY HEART. HUSBAND HAD TRIPLE BY-PASS AND I WAS SCARED TO DEATH WHEN THEY STARTED DOING ALL THOSE HEART TEST REAL FAST.

I am going on my 11th year with this left side pain under my ribs. I have been gluten free for three weeks now and accidentally ingested it today and the left side pain came back with it. If you have not tired gluten free, it is worth a try to get rid of this pain
