Suggest Treatment For Upper Abdominal Pain

I have had upper right abdominal pain for about a year now. I ve had a ct scan and ultrasound and nothing was found. It started out hurting every now and again but now it hurts continuously. Also now when I eat a regular size meal, I end up feeling intoxicated. Also when I have a bowel movement all of them are very thin. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Thanks so much.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Pain in right upper abdomen with normal CT scan and ultrasonography and loose stools is indicative that there may be a problem related to the intestines.

I would advise you the following:
First of a to get a course of an antibiotic for 5 days, along with probiotic, metronidazole and supportive medicines. If there is a complete relief, nothing more needs to done.

If there is not much of a relief, please consult a Gastroenterologist to get a clinical diagnosis and further tests like colonoscopy and so.
A proper further treatment can help you the maximum.

I hope this answer helps you.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: pain in upper abdomen for a year - Normal CT and USG - now continuous hurting - feeling intoxicated on full meals - thin BM - wants to know the reasons .

I would advise you the following:
Also get the blood, urine and stool tested.
Colonoscopy and upper GI Endoscopy.
A 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics , PPI, Symptomatic treatment and see the results.
If all the investigations are normal and there is no response to the treatment, you can be treated as a case of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
I hope this will help you to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
