Question : My husband has been experiencing pain on the right side of abdomen. At work, he pulled a muscle and we are wondering if the digestive problems (bloating, gas, and frequent bowel movements) are related to that muscle pull.

Brief Answer:
Not likely to be related.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history bout your husband and understood the concerns.Bloating, gas and frequent bowel movements can not be due to muscle pull for sure unless that the trauma was something like a direct hit and contused the intestines.
Hence I would advise him the following in such a situation:
Send stool and blood for tests.
If there is an intestinal infection a prescription based course of an antibiotic can help him to get rid of these problems.
There will also be a confirmation about the muscle pull by an actual examination by a Doctor and if present will be treated accordingly.

I hope this answers your specific query and help in further management.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

Take care.
With Regards.
Dr T Chandrakant.
