What Causes Left Sided Rib Pain?

I have a pain in my left side just under my rib cage.... also lower back pain (neither are actually painful just discomfort) I noticed over the last year if I am on my phone my stomach gurgles and I got this feeling in my stomach but now it is definitely there after I eat. My stomach is slightly distended too. How do they diagnose this?

Dear User,

Thank you for your question, this is a common symptom related to gases. Please add more fibers in your diet and make sure you eat healthy food avoid eating beans or other foods that might lead to gases for the time being until your symptoms subside for further follow up and medication prescription please refer to a gastroenterologist.
