What have you been eating?

Is this a chronic type problem or is it new? This is the kind of thing that could be anything from inflammation or constipation to obstructions or inflamed diverticulitis. *shrug* Only you can decide if it's "new" and needs to be seen to.

        I hear when it explodes it actually feels better for a while. then much much worse. -- nm - mafic Dec 17, 00:45
        
        It's probably just an Alien baby that got lost while trying to explode out of your chest. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 17, 00:28 1
