What Causes Abdominal Pain?
I have had the same problem except I haven t eaten fish as it disgusts me and I haven t had nuts for a long time now. The problem I m having is, although the bowel problems have subsided I now have and also had during the bowel problems is that I have a nagging pain in my right side under my ribs where the liver, and pancreas is. Can you tell me should I be alarmed?

Hi.
Thanks for your query
Yes, you should be alarmed as you have pain in the right upper abdomen.
This needs to be checked:
-By physical examination by a Doctor, preferably a Surgeon.
-Ultrasonography of the abdomen to start with.
-Blood tests of amylase, lipase, liver function tests.
-Urine: for bile salts and pigments.
-Upper GI Endoscopy to rule out gastritis and ulcers.
This will give you the correct diagnosis and a plan for a proper treatment .
