Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

There are organs like small intestine, large intestine, spleen etc in the left sided region of belly button. The pain may also be due to your gas problem.
However, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of causes that needs to be ruled out. Eat fiber rich diet. You may also need ultrasound abdomen if symptoms does not improve.
