Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Pain below the rib cage on the right or middle of abdomen usually indicates gallstones. Especially if it radiate to the back. Nausea and vomiting can be present. The pain is usually triggered by fatty foods, spicy foods or alcohol.
If the pain is more in the middle and does not radiate to the back, peptic ulcer is the most probable.
I suggest you to have abdominal ultrasound at first. If no gallstones will be present, gastroscopy should be next.
In a meanwhile please avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, fruit juices.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
