I have a pain behind my right rib cage. I had this last year, with all kinds of testing that resulted in I was ok. But the PAIN has continued on and off. I do have mild diverticulatus. A clinic Dr. told me it sounds like I have IBS-C. If I don t take stool softeners/lacitives, my stools are like deer pellets. I would like to know what I can do to stop this pain from coming back. Is it the foods I am eating/not eating? I am 55 years old, 5 4 , 159 lbs., and still working.
