Hepatic flexure?? Ibs??? Constant pain under right ribs need help????????!!!!!!!!

[4man28]

Hi, so thinking this hepatic flexure might be my problem if anyone has had similar..I have had horrible pain under right ribcage for past 4 months had a million tests done with normal results but yet no answer and still massive pain...mine gets worse with activity the longer I stand or the more I do my pain intensifies and radiates to my back and my back gets really tight tense feeling and I get sweaty nausea to the point on many occasions of throwing up..only relief is lying down and sometimes putting a hot water bottle under my back on right side...It feels very similar to my gallbladder problems but mine was removed year ago...the pain for hepatic flexure sounds similar but I dont get constipated....I seem to just get controlled diarrhea and more bowel movements a day then I used too...I'm desperately wanting an answer I'm supposed to go see a specialist gi in Hope's for more answers but afraid wont get that...only thing I havent had done is a colonoscopy wondering if that might help to see how the colon bends etc??

Hi, I'm thinking Bile Acid Malabsorption. If you have no gallbladder, your bile acid cannot be reabsorbed like it should be. Perhaps have a look into this.

Hi, understand this post is fairly old but could you please let me know if you were ever diagnosed? I get pain under my right rib which is dibilitating after eating and with standing/movement which I think is my hepatic flexure. On and off every day!! I have had it throughout my life and it will suddenly go away over night, only to return if triggered by stress (I think). Would love to know if you have resolved your problem, and if so, how?
