Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Vomiting, Diarrhea And Pain Below The Ribs?
In the last couple of months I have had a couple of episodes of vomiting and simultaneous diahrea followed by slowly getting my appetite back and pain in the right side below the ribs. I have almost continuous pain in the middle upper stomach area. Is this an ulcer? The first episode I lost 4 lbs. I m sure I lost a couple more from this 2nd episode.
It could be due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux. As a first line management, you can take antacids like pantoprazole or omeprazole for symptomatic relief.

What Causes Vomiting, Diarrhea And Pain Below The Ribs?
Hello, It could be due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux. As a first line management, you can take antacids like pantoprazole or omeprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
