Pain in the left upper abdomen with flatulence
Upper abdominal pain in the left area is very rare. Anatomically, the spleen is located there, but it only causes discomfort when it has grown very large and thus presses on other organs. Another cause, which most people are probably familiar with, is simple side stitches in the course of a side stitch during sports.
The cause of left-sided upper abdominal pain could also be pain in the left kidney or ureter, which are inflamed, for example. However, this would result in left flank pain and the pain is rarely projected into the left upper abdomen. In addition, the above-mentioned causes of left-sided upper abdominal pain are usually not accompanied by flatulence.

It is advisable to eat slowly and chew each bite at least 10 times. Many small meals as opposed to a large one are also beneficial. A walk after the main meal is a good way to stimulate digestion and thus prevent flatulence.
Start taking care of yourself: When does flatulence occur? What did you eat before? Were you stressed during the meal?
Try to avoid foods that generally cause flatulence or that you have experienced as causing flatulence. Sweeteners and foods containing sugar should be avoided (not more than 65g per day recommended for fruit sugar). Smoking is best stopped, as is high coffee and caffeine consumption.
