What Causes Abdominal Pain And Constipation?

Burning abdominal pain just below the ribcage, occasional light coloured stool, bloating and constipation, headaches plus lower abdominal discomfort. Previously diagnosed with liver hemangioma and family history of gall stones and diverticulitis. Is this a result of a gall bladder stone? Would an abdominal ultrasound diagnose this?

hello there..
thanx for the query..
Pain below the rib cage on the right side can be due to disease of gall bladder which include gall stone.Gall bladder stores the bile which is needed for the digestion and emulsification of Fats .Also some part of the bile goes to intestine n give stool it's normal colour.If there is any obstruction to bile flow( can be due to gall stones),the bile is not able to go to intestine ,thus stool become light coloured.
Also the lower abdominal discomfort can be due to diverticulitis.
I will suggest you to do your USG abdomen(ultrasound) and Liver function test.
I hope this is helpful.
thank you..
