Side Pain after eating too much??

Sometime I get a pain on my left side more towards mt back? Does anyone get this when they have eaten too much. Thre are cetain things that I can eat more of before feeling the fullness in my stomach but several times i know ive eaten more than usual and get a side pain. Does any one else experience this or any other feelings of being too full.

I have this same problem! Mine is at the same level as my belly button. I asked my surgeon about it and he said that there was nothing over there and even if I ate too much, it wouldn't hurt there.

I saw my pcp today and she told me that there wasn't anything there either. Her only thought was that there may be scar tissue on my small intestine somewhere that sometimes pulls and that is why it hurts. She told me if it doesn't stop in a couple of weeks, to see the surgeon again.

i had the same thing for months. i was told i ate too much, or didn't chew enough. or i ate or drank to close together. and it was pain from gas, or the food or drink sitting to be digested and also told it was consitpation pain... ??? who knows

I get it, too! For awhile, I thought I was crazy, but then I realized that I only get it after dinner and if I stretch to my right, I can make it go away. It can't be anything too serious....or at least that's what I tell myself.

I also get this, it feels like when you go swimming right after you eat and you get a bad cramp. I thought I was the only one, glad to hear I am not alone.
