Your tummy hurt on the bottom-left side could mean you have diverticulitis. Little pouches in your colon swell up. Pain, bloaty feeling, and hot temps come along. A diet full of fiber, lots of water, and some meds can make it better. But go see a gastroenterologist first to find out for sure and get the right care.
