Have Sharp Pains In My Stomach. Pain Increases. Urge To Fart. When Leaning Forward Feel Pain. How To Overcome This?

Hi I just started to have these sharp pains in my stomach and its rite below my belly button, and the pain increases and it feels like a contraction but rite when it feels like at its peek, I have the urge to fart and when I do its like its reliving it, but its not like that all the time, sometime its just the pain, but I'm laying on my side right now and as I lean forward on my stomach I feel this pain in that area, what is it? Could it be from something I ate? Please help.

Hi and thanks for the query,
It is very possible that this should not be sue to a problem with the physical nature of the stomach or your intestines. It is a functional problem , meaning that it arises mainly due to some abnormalities in contraction of intestines. There are moments when can experience either very strong or very weak contractions with corresponding consequences on digestion. This either increases or reduces the movement of food along the intestines. depending on the time spent, some bacteria, especially in the large intestines feed on this food, and produce lots if gas. Eventual passage of gas could relieve symptoms in some people. This could be seen in irritable bowel syndrome. Drinking much water, diet rich in vegetables and fruits, and exercise are initial solutions. drugs to normalize contraction of intestines also do exist. Consulting a doctor first is important, preferably a gastroenterologist. Kind regards
