Pain and bruising of lower left abdomen

[Malice67]

Over indulged in pizza Sunday night and still feeling the effects. Nothing like what most of you talk about with the horrible D (or C), but sharp pains in the lower left abdomen. Can feel a couple of small hard spots -- roughly green pea sized near the surface. Ate super light and bland for next two days, liberally used heating pad which definitely helped and now is down to a dull ache, but there is bruising -- a couple of spots about quarter size. I don't remember hitting anything. Is bruising normal?? Am I just being paranoid? (note - have only been diagnosed for a month)

More importantly, this something to call my GI about given I have an endoscopy scheduled in two weeks where he will also biopsy to test for celiac, and cauterizing my GAVE ie (watermelon stomach). Or my hematologist given I have just now reached borderline low level of normal on my hemoglobin after 7 iron infusions since February. Or my OB/GYN as I have a cyst on my left ovary. Does it get easier as time goes on to fgure out when to call and who to call?

thanks

Hi. Sorry you're going through this mess.

I've never experienced this myself. I'd suggest starting with the GI because you noticed it after eating pizza.

You're a month into your diagnosis. Its a lot to take in and adjust to. Take it a day at a time. It will get easier.

Thanks Dave -- it is a lot. Couldn't imagine going through it in middle school and high school!
