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.
