“Have stomach pain?”

I have stomach pain near my right and left side of the abdomen where it feels like a burning sensation plus it feels swollen whenever I lay on my side. I also have stomach pain from my belly button downwards. Lastly, I have some burning sensation near my pelvis but it doesn't happen as often. I do get bloated with gas from time to time and some minor diarrhea but overall can go to the toilet just fine. I will say a few days ago my stool was blackish but not it's normal brown. My diet is not perfect but I do try to eat healthy when I can. I have also taken multivitamins and a protein power drink as well but not daily. I workout 3 times a week at least.

This is probably a benign condition related to food intake if there is no weight loss or anemia. Might help to lose weight and lower the ingestion of carbohydrates, which tend to cause bloating.
This seems to be something you should discuss further. Please make sure to share all this information when you visit your physician. This site is not meant for telemedicine consultation.
