What Causes Nausea, Gas And Sharp Abdominal Pains?
I've been feeling really sick and i thought it was the stomach flu but my body has not done anything to get rid of it, no throwing up or diarreha.
Sometimes it's just nausea, then gas, and then a sharp pain and it various from above my belly button to my lower abdomin. I haven't noticed if it's on my right side, though it seems to be in the middle. Also my period is delayed and we have been trying for a baby but i tested neg on the home preg test. is this just the flu or would it be appendicitis?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The history of nausea, gas, midline pain below belly button to lower abdomen can be intestinal infection.
It is not necessary in every case that one throws up or has diarrhea.
IT is possibly not an Appendicitis as there is no pain in the right lower abdomen.
I Would advise you the following:
Take a course of 5 days of an antibiotic and metronidazole along with activated charcoal and enzyme preparations; and you may be dine.
If there is no response within 5 days for for investigations of blood, urine and stool an ultasonography to get a correct diagnosis and get a proper treatment
