Pain in.upper stomach

[Netbet22]

So I was diagnosed with ibs about 10 year ago then diagnosed with bile acid malabsorption just over 2 year ago stomach just constantly hurts in upper quarter yo the right by rib constantly at the doctors and all am getting is it's your ibs and bam overlapping each over take colesevelam and buscapan, now I don't think the buscapan does anything and I always think they is something more going on , and wat does it mean by overlapping any advice as am fed up with it all

a lot of sufferers get this, a lot of it is caused by wind pain which is why your doctor is saying buscapan. Try looking at diet, as foods high in fodmap (that ferment in gut) like onions, beans, garlic, all cause wind. Google fodmap foods and try to avoid or limit in diet. I love onion but it kills me.

sorry to hear of your pain. Have you had an ultrasound to rule out gallstones? They can cause pain in the upper right quadrant. I recently found out I have multiple gallstones, although my pain usually is more centred and not that frequent.

Had gallbladder out 10 year ago sure it's some sort of inflammation that's causing my pain , hope you get sorted

hi I was diagnosed also exactly the same have been on Coveselam for about 8 years now .. same upper quadrant rib pain no remedy for me … all tests clear I just monitor with dr now once a year .. discomfort constant but always hard to explain to anyone the discomfort. As it doesn’t hurt just uncomfortable. If I push on my lower rib or whilst walking the discomfort subsides but it is there 24/7 .. dr never is overly concerned .. thanks Victoria
