feeling lumps across the abdomen

[ronkyfish]

I seem to have irritable bowl sydrome...runny stool.  I am taking a supplement of enzymes and apple pectin and it helps a bit.  But what concerns me more is along with an increasing occurrence of bloating, I can feel lumps under the skin, when I touch my abdomen.  They seem most noticeable on my upper left side, and less so on my right side.  Whenever they are most noticeable, my abdomen seems hardened in general across the top. Can an individual feel polyps by palpitating their own abdomen?  After having a colonic and presumably removing material, I could still feel some of those lumps and the bloating was still evident.

Mine is more right in the center..below ribcage. Doc and i are sure it is from undigested foods.

How is your diet?

This is totally what this is for me! When I press and massage out the lumps I feel bloating relief, and usually air will shortly thereafter travel and come out.
Thanks!

i am not a doctor but i dont think u could feel lumps like that unless they were really big and if they are i'm sure u would have problems in the bowel allready....these could be fat sacks im not sure of the proper med name for them but we all have them but if u are worried go see your doctor just to be sure and for peace of mind.
peppermint is good for the bloating
