Hi

I'm new to the forum and was recently diagnosed in December by colonoscopy follwing a rectal blled. Just wanted to know if my symptoms were common; I have abdominal pain that does seem to move from left to right, lower abdomen pain and pain just below solar plexsus. The pain is constant not severe but I am aware of it. 

Generally frustrated and obviously a little concerned as all the information I was given was a leaflet. I'm now taking fybogel following research on the net.

    Hi David

    Sounds about right the pain you are getting that is sometimes its nagging sometimes painfull , you will find diffrent foods will trigger it so its best for a while write down on a bad fday what you have been eating that day and the day befor then leave it out for a while then if you have a good day do the same and eat more to see how it gos its all a leaning curve david and as boring and painfull as it is it takes time but you will get there if you need anymore help give us a shout.

      Thank you all for replying I will try probitics and start the food

      diary, it seems that diet is key.

      I was confused with the pain as everything I have read refers to left sided pain but the major area for me is the solar plexsusand upper abdominal area with right, left and lower pain being secondary areas.
