Sounds like you could have a spastic colon from lack of fibre..increase your fibre intake or buy some citracel or metimucel and mix that with water of juice and take that every day. It helped me when I had pain in my left side..and it also helps to keep your bowels movements formed and not too try or too loose. I always used to get that pain in my left side from not eating enough fibre. Good Luck.
