Suggest Treatment For Gas In The Stomach And Lower Abdominal Pain
Question: I am having a large amount of gas in my stomach and for a better word, passing a large amount of gas. I also have a recurring pain in my lower left quadrant. When I sit down fast, I feel pain in my lower body part.
Brief Answer:
Intestinal gas, nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion ma'am
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. it just sounds to me like a case of increased intestinal gas which can occur due to any or all of the following reasons:
1. Diet: Consuming foods that can cause an increased amount of gas (E.g. celery, cabbage, radishes, onions, legumes, sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.)
2. Inadequate physical activity: A lack of physical activity or low level of exercise can prevent adequate movement of the food in the gastric system that can in turn result in stagnation of food and the production of excessive gas
3. Diet rich in sugar: Sugar is the breeding ground for bacteria, which in turn can produce more amount of gas
4. High fibre diet
5. Fruits and fruit juices
6. Underlying gastrointestinal conditions that can cause increased gas (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, dumping syndrome, diverticulosis, infection, intestinal obstruction, etc.)
I would recommend a change in lifestyle if you can relate to any of the above mentioned causes, or you can choose to visit a doctor or write to me with a list of instructions that may help. I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
