Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain Below The Rib Cage Area

I have pain in my stomach right below my rib cage. My bowel movements are yellow and sometimes mucusy and sometimes seem like it leaves an oily layer on the water. I had my gallbladder out in 2009 and I had gastric bypass in 2007. Should I be concerned?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The history of gall bladder removal in 20019 and a gastric bypass in 2007 can be a part reason for your problem.
A possibility of chronic pancreatitis causing hte stool to become, oily and floating can be explained on this. But the mucus and stool can suggest an added infection in the intestine, indicating the need of a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics, activated charcoal tablets, medicines for symptomatic relief and an addition of the tablets of pancreatic enzyme supplements.
Tests of blood for CBC, liver and pancreatic enzymes; ultrasonography and other tests as may be needed on clinical picture and old reports may help to get us a correct diagnosis and plan a proper treatment.
