What Causes Pain And Discomfort In Right Side Of The Abdomen?

So first I had my first child November 2013 and everything went fine with delivery and pregnancy. I have had UTI my entire childhood and adulthood. About a month or two ago I had pain in my right lower rib cage, to describe the pain it felt like a fat roll was getting pinched between my ribs and I just tried to ignore it like a cramp until it went awhile. Well I had another occurrence the other day while sitting at the dinner table and being worried with the pain I lifted my shirt and it looked like a baby foot sticking out of my ribs and it turned and went back in. I spoke with a nurse and she informed me that it may be a hernia. Today after I ate lunch I became very lightheaded and felt like I was going to faint for the first time ever and I now have no appetite for food I m sure my stomach hurts as bad as it does because I haven t ate anything since lunch. What could be wrong with me and what could be the pinching but protruding at my right lower rib cage? (I have been on birth control since December 2013)

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
thank you for posting your query.

further evaluation needed.
there maybe a pathology related to gall bladder, or bile duct, or liver.

try to visit a hepatologist at the earliest and get an Ultrasound of abdomen done.
also check your liver function test and also complete blood cell count.

meanwhile,
- abstinence from alcohol
- low fat diet ( or no fat)
- avoid red meat
- use lemon ( lemonade)
- decrease sports activity
- you may use famot 20mg, or nexium 20mg once daily before breakfast until you get lab results

wish you good health.
