Who gets pain below left rib?
I had xray, scan, colonoscopy and endoscopy plus gallbladder removed 3 months ago.
But I still have IBS flare ups and often the pain is in that area.
They told me it was referred pain from my gallbladder but now thats been removed so I cant blame it on that.
Me, my pain is hideous in the left, in my back behind ribs. But I also have kidney stones and they don't know if it's that causing pain, I often have blood in urine. Also been referred to gyn in case I have endometriosis or adhesions from c sections. And I've developed raynauds and peripheral neuropathy. It's a mess. Nobody has a clue. Good luck x
Oh and google splenic flexure syndrome which is a subtype of ibs x
Hi I had the same pain and had gallbladder removed just over 12 months ago. I was doing okay but just had a massive flare up . I was getting really bad cramps and running to the loo about ten minutes after I ate anything. I have gone back on to low fat diet this week and after 4 days I am feeling much better. I was reading up on it and I don't think my body is digesting the fat , it can't cope. Was doing horrible yellow floating fluffy , greasy poo but now it as gone back to normal.
Thank you so much for your reply. It does help to ease my awful anxiety which to be honest probably makes my pain feel 100 times worse!
Im trying very hard to eat just veggies and rice and no fat to see if things will ease off. Tempted to take loperamide for the diarrhoea. but dont want to mess up my system any more.
Its just the pain upper left that causes me anxiety. But I cant keep running to the doctor.
Don't take the loperamide if you can help it for a few days. See if the cutting out fat helps . How long have you been fat free?
