Hello
As you mentioned that you are having diarrhea , stomach cramps , bloating from many years .
Now there is lump under right rib cage , so please get in ultrasound of this lump as this may be enlargement of liver under right ribs.
The next reason of this swelling may be due to right side pleural effusion , diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest .
In my opinion third reason may be lipoma in this area as physical examination is important so consult a physician and get his opinion ( 2nd ) .
Good luck.
