I have aching in the left side of my abdomen and numerous blood and scan tests have all come back negative. My GP seems to think it is abdominal muscle pain. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated?

We'll start with a simple and everyday answer if that's ok.....

You may have an inflamed descending colon. Your colon runs up the right side of your abdomen (ascending colon), across the abdomen from right to left (transverse colon) and down the left hand side (descending colon).

If you don't visit the loo absolutely every day or have suffered a tummy bug in the last couple of months you may have some inflammation and irritation in there.

If this sounds possible, then please try our Molkosan Vitality drink as it promotes this population of desirable bacteria which in turn control the microbes often responsible for tenderness.

The more complex answer is that kidney and ureter pain is referred to the left hand side of the abdomen.

Have you suffered a UTI or kidney infection infection recently? Our Solidago complex is a great strengthener to the kidneys, with people making a point of volunteering their successes with it when I meet them in health food stores.

It helps inflammation and acts as an antiseptic and if you have puffy eyes upon waking, lower back ache or fluid retention, this might be the remedy for you.

Best wishes
