Hi alunke82 -

If you've ever had hunger pains - that's where your stomach is. It can cramp up if you eat something spoiled - like if you have food poisoning.

Higher up (under your ribs) is your smaller intestine and it's the area where food first arrives after it leaves your stomach. When I have small intestinal pain, it's higher up but a broader sensation, rather than a sharp pain in one area - since there are a lot of feet of intestines so it's more spread out across your torso.

Lower intestines are in the abdominal area - if I ever have gas pains, it's usually lower. Women have menstrual cramps (which generally aren't in the intestines but are lower in the abdomen and that's the area where our intestines also are). I think most constipation discomfort is generally in the large/lower intestines.

You can also have gallbladder pain - generally under your right rib.

Kidney/liver pain - for me, this occurs in the lower, middle area of my back.

Adrenal glands sit right on top of the kidneys, and they can be a little painful with adrenal issues.

Appendix pain is also under the rib on the right side.

Does this help?

Are you in treatment? Did the pain start after you started something in your treatment? Does the pain occur after doing something or all the time? Do you have any yeast/fungal issues that might cause gas pains?

Sorry alunke82 -

It is tough to know without more specific detail. It sounds like it is progressing a little worse? You might try to get into see a doctor - it could be a simple thing like an ulcer, that has been bothered by the antibiotics.

Please let us know how you are doing and that you're able to see a doctor.
