What Causes Abdomen Pain With Diarrhea?

I have severe pain in the left side of my abdomen and up under breast bone that last for several days.I am a 39 year old female. The pain came on gradually but got worse through out the day. I feel better when laying on my right side. Today I had a small bowel movement with out even knowing I was doing it and I don't have diareah. I have never done this before.

Hi, thank you for posting!

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

Based on what you have said above, I think that you might suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). It is a disease that affects bowels without any known cause and often it is developed in people with anxiety disorders.

In order to improve you health condition, you should follow these guidelines:
1-avoid spicy and acidic foods
2-don't drink alcoholic and carbonated drinks, coffee, milk
3-reduce the amount of carbohydrates you take
4-eat high fiber foods

In order to confirm the diagnosis, you need an abdominal ultrasound, a liver function test and a complete blood count.

The treatment of this condition is a little bit complex so you need to consult your gastroenterologist.

I hope this answer is helpful to you.

Wish you good health,
Dr. Behar.
