Re: to Telman...

Thanks so much. Please excuse my ignorance, but isn't this valve on the right side?

In any case, looking at the symptoms of the valve disorder, I don't think that I have this disorder but don't know for sure.

With that said, my pain/discomfort peaks like clockwork every day around 5:00 (although not unbearable at all). I am doing a lot of things from a diet standpoint that should improve my whole digestive process.

But it is a little concerning to not know what the problem is. Other than the valve problem, do you have any other thoughts on what might be causing this?

I appreciate your insight!
