What Causes Discomfort Just Below My Right Ribs?

I am having little discomfort (kind of pain) in my right side just below the ribs. it should be the area of my liver.
2 months back i saw blood drops along with my stool and also my apetite went down drastically. I went to a gastroenterologist and he gave me a tablet before food in the morning and lactifiber after dinner. Everything become normal. but this discomfort just below my right ribs is still existing.
What may be the reason? I can provide any more info if you want.
