Suggest Treatment For Navel Pain

Hi, I am a 31 yr old male and have been experiencing some tenderness and pain to the right of my navel, lately. I am unsure whether it is just a muscle pain or whether it is a digestive disorder. I have been exercising since the past 5 months (mainly cardio) to lose belly fat. I lost about 9 pounds in the first 4 months and another 4 in the past month. I have been diagnosed with gastroesophagal reflux disease for which I am taking omerprazole. I am also taking Miralax to increase water content in the colon. TSH, differential and CBC tests were done and everything seemed normal. CT scans of my stomach and a recently concluded X ray did not indicate anything serious but there appeared to be lot of stool in the colon. I am on a minimal fat vegetarian diet that is free of caffeine, acidic and spicy foods.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and the problems. You are 31 years old male with pain in the right side of the naval, exercising for 5 months for loosing belly fat, taking Omeprazole for GERD, CT scan and X-rays normal ..

This indicates for a probable cause as muscular.
The internal problems can be with pancreas, duodenum, transverse colon, but CT rules many of these.

Get a clinical evaluation and physical examination by a General Surgeon to see if you have myalgia of the rectus muscle or a hernia in this situation for a proper diagnosis ad correct treatment.
