Suggest Treatment For Nausea, Vomiting And Abdominal Bloating
Question: I have had a stitch under my right rib off and on all week. I am currently on a food allergy elimination diet, so my food intake has changed a bit. Also, on Monday, experienced several hours of pain and vomiting. After dinner last night, I felt really painfully bloated around my belly button area, and kept being reminded on that stitch sensation. Tossed and turned last night and felt that the bloating feeling eventually moved to my lower abdomen. I had two bowel movements today, took a gas-x and a probiotic. However, today I feel that place on my right rib cage feels bruised and sore to the touch. I also have a mild ache in my lower abdomen as well--almost like a uterine kind of cramping. I scheduled an appoint with a gastro doctor for next Tuesday, but should I see someone sooner? Should I be immediately concerned?
In the above description, I didn't mean "pain & vomiting", I meant "nausea & vomiting". Thanks!
