Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having gastritis which can be caused by contaminated rice.
I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by your doctor.
You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg for relief from your symptoms.
Pain in ribs can be due to vomiting and can be relieved by hot fomentation.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
