Is it normal....

 Is it normal to feel a pinching pain from time to time in between your breast area, or just below? I had some broth earlier and was fine then went to my protein shake, but all day I have had gas. Really bad and foul gas. Is this all normal? Also Right near my belly button, a little up, and to the left, when I have a bowel movement, or before I ahe a bowel movement I feel this area is twisting, its not painful, but its uncomfortable. Is this normal as well? Look forward to hearing from anyone. 

What kind of surgery did you have?

The large bowel runs along the left side of your body. If you feel twisting, it's your bowel. It's probably nothing to worry about, but if it's really bad, won't go away, or if you're concerned, then definitely contact your doctor.

I am having the same feelings going on too.  Its good to know I'm not the only smelly one around here
