Pain and discomfort on left side of body

[ollycnz]

I have pain and discomfort on the left side of my stomach area around the bottom of my ribs.  It is from my stomach as I have gurgling in that area and it feels like someone is sticking something into my side.  I also have billiousness burping and wind as well.  At present I also have discomfort in my chest and a very sore stomach.  The doctor doesn't say anything about it.  I have had my gall bladder removed.
Can you give me any idea.  I read about esophogeal sphincter imbalance and that fits one of the problems but this one is different.

I had similar symptoms except I suffer from chronic nausea too.  I had an endoscopy (camera down the throat) back in Jan and they discovered gastritis.  I cant say the medication Im taking has helped a great deal but I hope that the periods of feeling well get longer with the bad days becoming more infrequent.

Hi Claire
I went to my health food store a couple of days ago and go a product call Candaid.  It is to kill off Candid which is a yeast overgrowth in the gut.  You can get it throughout the body too.  Apparently a severe yeast over growth is like being a heavy drinker.  The yeast ferments in the gut and is fed by the sugar etc.  It also gives symptoms of being drunk  blurred vision, uncoordinated, and hangover. I had all of those too. Headaches were very prevelent.
I have started taking the product and they also sold me Aloe Vera juice to calm my system down as it was inflamed.  
So far so good.  I am feeling much better now.  I am also allergic to gluten and dairy which I had removed from my diet anyway.  

I hope this may help you to heal your gastric problems.  Medication won't help a candida overgrowth.  I come from New Zealand so I don't know what you equivalent product is over there but it is a natural product not a drug. Good luck.
