Is your left side pain worse after you
eat? What does your back pain feel like?

Hey There. Posted: 04-09-06 17:18pm
Yeah, I would have pain/a dull fullness
feeling under the left rib/and around my
abdominal area after eating any meal and
occasionally when I would wake up the next
morning. When I was younger, I was a very
slow eater as well as drinker. That is
why I was questioning the whole
esophagus/indigestion deal--because of the
above. I had the endoscopy first--just as
a process of elimination--found out I had
minor gerd was given prevacid--then
started having pain in the chest cavity
(left side) along with the pain under the
left rib (same time) so I thought there
was an association between the two.
Usually the back pain would radiate to my
sides as well---and that would occur
usually after eating as well. When my
doctor first diagnosed me as ibs--i always
associated it with bowel movements "hence
the "b" in ibs--but it really deals with
the entire digestive system (and the
processes)--such as eating/stress and so
forth. Been looking up now alternatives
to dealing with it (since it is
life-long/non cancerous--and probably
chronic)--because it does deal with
sensitivity to food and how you feel
afterward. I am also looking up "neural
therapy", probiotic regimen, and a.
Nutritional plan (eliminating foods that
don't work vs foods that does/through
journal)
