What Does Pain In The Area Of Large Intestine Indicate?

I am having pain in my large intestine above the left hip area around the point that the large intestine turns the corner into the Sigmoid colon. I have general pain continuously and more specific pain when I press my fingers into that area. I m not sure if I strained a muscle exercising or if it is a result of my wife giving me a cleanser consisting of raw oats, probiotics, walnuts, almonds, honey, and water. When I press the area with my fingers, I feel pain and the sensation of gas moving about. It just started last night and persists through today to the point I laid in bed all day. I began taking the cleanser yesterday morning and again this morning. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I also took a protein drink with milk (8 oz.) after working out last night as my dinner. Any thoughts?

1. If there is associated bloating, stomach cramps then do not waste time seek an opinion of general surgeon to rule out intestinal obstruction,appendicitis.
2. It could be due to the cleanser given by your wife or the protein drink which could result in food poisoning,indigestion,gastritis, constipation, lactose intolerance, food allergy, malabsorption.
3. If the pain is not going on its own seek an appointment with your Doctor for further necessary investigation, examination and treatment, since he will decide whether you need over the counter [OTC] or hospital treatment.
