It’s easy to feel lost in the vast wilderness that is stomach—or more accurately, abdominal—pain. But doctors have learned to read our midsection like a map. And where our pain radiates from often broadcasts important information about what may be causing the discomfort. As they say, it’s all about location, location, location. Here, experts reveal common types of stomach pain in women, based on where the pain flares are felt most. Use this knowledge (and our handy chart below) to help you find a clear path to treatment and healing.

Most people aren’t that lucky to have a bowel movement that comes on like clockwork,” Dr. Leybelis Padilla, a gastroenterologist and founder of Unlocking GI, told The Post. “But there are few key things that can set you up to having a consistent bowel movement regimen,” she said.

Here’s the thing about poop that any G.I. doc will excitedly tell you: There’s a lot that bowel movements can clue you in on when it comes to your health—and frequency is part of that. If you haven’t heard, gut health is huge right now. There are even start-ups that are developing “smart toilets” to analyze your poop as it passes through your toilet.)

A nourished gut is a resilient gut—and resilience starts from within,” says Leybelis Padilla, M.D., a board-certified gastroenterologist and founder of Unlocking GI. Here are seven gut-healthy snacks these GI experts swear by, along with the science-backed reasons they work.
