abdominal aches... advice needed please

[dalebillster]

Hi everyone, i have been 'suffering' from abdominal aches & a mild bloated feeling on & off for around 6 months. Im male, age 25 & of slim build & generally good health. The aches are around my lower abdominal area and to the right a bit on the front of my body, but occasionally go around my back a little. I also have occasional belly ache. This normally lasts for around 2 weeks at a time. I consulted my doctor about 3 months ago to which after a short examination ruled out appendisitis (forgive my spelling lol). The area is very rarely sore to touch, just a little uncomfortable on occasions when sitting down. Does anyone have any advice to give me, ideas to what it could be, or things to try to solve it? Thanks for reading & il reply to everyone as prompt as i can. Thanks Dale

Hello dale,For your peace of mind ask your G.P. to arrange a C.T. scan and a colonoscopy for you. You are a little young to have it but diverticular disease and appendicitis are sometimes difficult to differentiate. Good luck.
