Has anyone ever experienced this?

When I lie down at night (and this happens every night) I can feel a lump about half the size of a ping-pong ball in my lower right abdomen. The strange thing is, it moves! Is this just digestion, or a gas bubble? When I push on it, it moves and then I can't feel it anymore.. I read on the internet that some people can feel if they have an intestinal parasite and now it's got me wondering..I hope it's just gas, but it's in the same spot every night.

HI and Welcome to the board!


I would suggest going to see your doctor, it could be gas, or it could be something else all together....best to find out.
