Gastritis/ stomach ulcer,,,,
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
You are saying that you have bloating and right side ache of abdomen and these symptoms suggest to:
-gastritis/stomach ulcer
-IBS
- pancreas problems
I would kindly ask you if you have constipation/diarrhea, if these symptoms are related with any particular food.
If I were your treating doctor I would recommend you doing further exams like
1. Abdominal ultrasound
2. Upper endoscopy
3. Blood work
For the moment you can start using omeprazole and simethicone to reduce your gas and bloating.
Hope it was of help to you.

I don't have constipation and occasionally diarrhea. No foods bother me just can only eat a few bites then I have a very full feeling. I have been told a few years back that I have a sluggish gallbladder. I also had a hysterectomy due to irregular bleeding and years of abnormal pap smears due to prevent cancer cells on my cervix... I was left with my ovaries.
I should also add the bloating is the lower area.. I guess the waist area is the best way to describe it.. Thank you

Brief Answer:
Gallbaldder sludge causes bloating and discomfort,
Detailed Answer:
Hi back
Thank you providing more of your medical data.
You are saying that you have sludge gallbladder and you need to be evaluated with abdominal ultrasound If it is still sludge or stones.
Sludge is one major cause of your situation with bloating and discomfort.
High level of acidity in stomach(gastritis/Ulcer) is another cause of bloating.
Please perform the exams that I recommended you before and it will help you to accurate the right diagnosis..
wishing you all the best
