[|Human|] I have been having pain -left side low abdomen. having hard time digesting -I feel full-stools are small-claylike consistency. Pain radiates to lower back or mid abdomen sometimes sharp. I have had this before -ayear or more ago-had ultra sound-no results. I am 63yrs old have had gall bladder removed 10 yrs ago. Can t afford more tests.
[|AI|]  Hi. If you can not more tests, there are certain things that can help you. First get examined by a Doctor who on clinical / physical examination can advise you the proper antibiotics, metronidazole, probiotic and if required laxatives. Take these for 5 days and if you get a relief, no further treatment or tests will be needed. If there is no relief then we can think about other tests to have a proper diagnosis and plan a treatment. You may then need colonoscopy and so on as per the results of treatment.
