Hi, I have constant bloating, stomach pains, excessive wind and a constant, nagging pain down my left hand side. My poop is caramel coloured, and soft. I eat well, plenty of fruit and veg, dairy and white meat and fish. What could be the cause of my discomfort?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Stomach bloating is caused mainly because of air swallowing known as erophagia.

The other causes for stomach pain are irritable bowel syndrome,acute gastritis ,celiac disease,sprue,bowel obstruction etc.

You should undergo routine blood count,ESR, ultrasound abdomen to detect the underlying cause.

You should do regular exercises to avoid bloating,distension and excessive wind and still having abdominal bloating or distension then you should start some medication like proton pump inhibitors,avoid excess carbohydrates and fatty foods, avoid oily and spicy foods.

If you still have these problems then u should go to gastroenterologist to treat underlying cause.

Regards,
