What can cause left-sided abdominal pain?

Left-Side Abdominal Pain: Potential Pancreas Issue

Pain on the left side of your abdomen may indicate a problem with the pancreas, as it's connected to this area through specific nerves.

Pancreas Functions:

1. Hormone Production: Generates insulin. Overproduction due to high carb intake can overwork the pancreas, leading to pain.

2. Enzyme Production: Produces digestive enzymes. Eating processed or enzyme-poor foods can strain the pancreas.
