Hi
Thank you for posting in health care magic.
Liver and Gall bladder are present in right upper quadrant of the abdomen.
So, Ultrasound abdomen will exclude any disease in these organs.Gall bladder stones are common in females and it has to be excluded.
Please consult your doctor and get an Ultrasound abdomen.
IIt is normal, then the pain is due to musculo skeletal cause .
Transverse colon is present in the upper part of the abdomen. So, some people may feel the movement of the colon.It is not a problem.

Nothing to worry.
