What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain, Swelling And Gas?
24 yr old female. I have upper abdominal pain. And right in between my rib cage aswell. It hurts to touch and feels like it is raised. I am also gassy. I am wondering if this is just gas or should I be more concerned? I am not pregnant. And there is no way I could be.

probably just gas.
I suggest:
lactose breath test
Anti transglutaminase and antiendomisium antibodies, total IgA
alt, ast, bilirubin (total and direct), ggt, alcalin phosphatase, lipase
symeticone after main meals for 7 days
eat simple food, avoid cheese and milk derived food, avoid fibers and legumes (as beans).
