Severe lower abdo bloating after eating and left side pain

Anyone had this, what did it turn out to be?

I've had fatigue for months but it could be down to anaemia or stress, now I've got left side pain after eating big meals, not hugely painful a 3/10 and mainly when I breathe in so when I inflate my stomach - just different rather than painful.

Also accompanying it is very uncomfortable lower abdo bloating which does slowly calm down (was starting to worry about ovarian cancer but it does slowly deflate).

Last time I went to the gp they said it was stress but what am I supposed to do for it, anyone had any similar symptoms?

Have you had any tests done? I dont want to worry you, but there was someone on TV a while back who had cancer and doctors tried to fob her off at first, telling her nothing was wrong. she recommended that people were a bit insistent if they felt something wasnt right.

It could be dietary or something like an endometrial cyst. Best to get checked out. I thought I had IBS but it was endometriosis.

I have all those symptoms: I'm pretty sure it's my fibroids.

I've tried to get it checked out but because I get anxious at the doctors he keeps telling me I'm anxious/depressed.

No, it seems to be the bigger meals, I'm okay with snacks or small things but as soon as I eat what used to be a normal sized meal - i.e veg stew, roast dinner, the usual dinnery stuff I get this stitch feeling on my left side and severe bloating.

Hi, I get the same, always in my lower left abdomen, it's been getting more frequent over the past year and now I have discomfort there most days. I'm currently having tests for fibroids and endometriosis and suspect the two are related. The discomfort is worse after eating a large meal, I can control it by limiting what I eat
