Worried

Hi

I've recently started to experience a distant pain (I wouldn't even call it "pain" more like "discomfort") In my lower left abdomen. The feeling started a week or so ago as nothing more that a strange feeling, almost like a vibration. It has since become more noticable. In previous days, the feeling has moved further up towards just under my lower left ribcage and around that area.

The feeling is sometimes relieved when I pass gas and go to the toliet. Thankfully, there's been no blood in my poo but there has been (I think) whitish mucus. Also, there has been some undigested food in there too occasionally. The poo's lately have been sort of watery as well. (sorry if i'm grossing anyone out!)

I'm inclined to think it might be IBS or something, but I'm just worried and hope someone can help. I'm a 21 year old guy if thats relevant.

Thank you for your help :)

It could be a minor tummy bug or anxiety or IBS. Doesn't everyone get undigested food showing up?

Vibration feelings are often associated with anxiety. Give it a couple of weeks and if it doesn't clear up, see a doctor.

Good luck.
