Uncomfortable feeling/pain on left side?

[jlbattin]

Here's a question that maybe someone has had some experience with. I started taking budesonide a week ago today. It has really helped with the gas and bloating I was having before I was diagnosed. I have this pain on my left side right under my left breast (and I use the term pain loosely because it's not really a pain....more uncomfortable than anything). I thought it was gas pains and that maybe as I stopped all gluten, soy, dairy, etc. (and I am on a very strict elimination diet), that it would subside, and I think it has to a certain extent. It is still there, however. It feels like a catch that's out of place. I thought it was maybe a gas bubble that just had to work itself out. But it's uncomfortable enough that when I find myself sitting up, I sometimes hold that left side and almost always do now when I drive. The good news is that I am going in Monday for a complete abdomen sonogram so I guess if it's something, they'll find it. I don't want or need anything else; however, we don't always get what we want. I don't think it's anything serious as it's not painful, not extreme pains, just more uncomfortable. Anyone else have any experience like this? Ideas?

Hi, Jari. I get a sensation on my left side at times after I eat something even though it's not one of my main triggers (gluten, dairy, etc.) I obviously am reacting to something but I don't know what it is. It normally goes away after a short period of time.

I never took entocort/budenside so I can not comment on that side of things.

as you make the changes with your diet etc, there will be niggles/twitches etc it is semi normal. the chemistry of your gut is changing and the muscles and cells in your body are adjusting to the changes...

life in MC world is a constant 2 steps forward, 1 step backward journey...

good luck
take care
