lower left side problem
i have this problem where i'll get bad gas pains in my stomach and a part of my intestine in my lower left side swells up(you can feel it) and it hurts and it seems like when the food gets to that point and when it swells up i get the gas pains and i have to run to the bathroom...and the last 2 days i've had a pain in there ( i thought it was the appendix but thats on the right) but i went to the doctor and they dont really understand it..but is it possible there is something wrong with the piece of intestine? (its the same exact spot and lenght that swells up everytime) so i thought maybe something could be wrong with it or a piece of it is no good or something?
...sry its kinda digusting.
im a male btw

Sounds like diverticulitis. It's a bulge in a weak spot in the intestine. It can cause all the symptoms you have.
You shouldn't eat nuts as they can get caught in the bulge. Basically, for diverticulitis, you need to eat lots of fiber.
I'm surprised that the doctor didn't mention that. It also sound like it could be a hernia. I would get a second opinion, fast!

I experience something similar to that on an almost-daily basis.
I've attributed it to bad gas, lactose intolerance, even IBS.
My brother also gets it, so there isn't much to do about it.
Tums help me...Also, there's a supplement forumlated by Dr. David Williams called Probiotic Advantage.
It's made of all natural ingredients, no chemicals. Only need to take once in the morning.
It works really well.
I have another condition that you may or may not be familiar with.
If I wait too long to eat, acid accumlates in my stomach. Then, when I eat something, thinking it's hunger pain, the pain is worsened because the food is compacted on top of the pre-existing acid...and it's a well-known fact that when you eat something, more acid pours into your stomach to help digest the food.
Well, if you're interested:
