What Causes Pain Under The Rib Cage With Gas And Belching?
I have pain under my right rib cage with a lot of gas, belching. I had a test to see if it was gall bladder and it showed nothing nor any nodes on the liver. What else could be causing this pain. It comes every so ofter and last usually one night with several days afterwards of tendness in that area.
You might have done USG investigation to rule out gall bladder and liver problem... No significant pathology detected so it could be functional constipation problem that can lead pain...
For that you can take digene like syrup for proper digestion.. If constipation more than ispghula with milk can be taken for few days ..
Avoid gas forming foods like... -turnip -cabbage -cauliflower -onion etc.....
If still no benefit than according to examination detailed evaluation needed and investigated accordingly... ..If still cause not clear than it could be from muscular strain problem
Advise : physician consultation for examination...
Take care
