Have had pain below that small bone between ribs & into right below rib cage. Had gallbladder removed & was checked for what was told constipation! Taken Restoralax- not helped! Cannot get comfort from back or side while trying to sleep! Hope you can please answer my question! Ulcer maybe?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be gastritis due to acid reflux. As of now you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid hot and spicy foods and include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. If symptoms persist, better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
