These days when I drink alcohol I get pain in the left part of my abdomen. Could it be the liver? I am so scared my liver is giving up on me though I have barely drunk in the past eight months. Not that I drank excessively before that. Any ideas?
What, do you have situs inversus, organs on the wrong side?Liver is on the right (normally). Anyway, I don't know. Why do you think it's connected to alcohol per se? Are you drinking 200 proof or is it part of some other drink, beer, wine?quote: I get pain in the left part of my abdomen. Could it be the liver?
What?quote:I was told by a Doctor at Temple University that there IS ibs of the stomach, but it is very rare.
I agree that it could be that. Once I realized it was gas it was easy to ascertain that there was some problem in the transitt. I guess the question iss was it in the stomach or colon because it took a long time for it to pass. Generally when I have gas the time between recognition that there is gas and it passing is a matter of secs.quote:But- if I remember my anatomy-the descending colon goes down the left side...maybe drinking alcohol for you just gets peristalsis going and you then feel it down there on the last tract of the journey "out".
