What Do Abdominal Pain And Tenderness Suggest?
I have had intermitant abdominal pain in the lower right quadrant and tenderness all over the abdomen. After I eat it almost feels as if I can feel the intestines moving the food along, almost like a babies foot moving while in the uterus, and I have alot of gurgling after I consume anything.

Hi
Lower right abdominal pain is one of the most common causes of patient visits to the emergency department. The lower right abdominal region is located below an imaginary horizontal line drawn under the lower right ribs and to the right of an imaginary vertical line running along the belly button.
Abdominal pain in this area is usually acute, and can be spontaneous or chronic. It can be a dull or sharp, localized or diffuse. Accompanying symptoms include nausea and vomiting, tenderness, constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, bloating and gas, and fever.
There are many structures in the lower right abdominal region in which pain can originate. The internal structures in this area include parts of the large intestine called the cecum, the appendix, and ascending colon, portions of the small intestine, the right ovary and the fallopian tube, and the right ureter. Any abnormality or disturbance of one or more of these structures can cause pain in the lower right abdomen.
also get an endoscopy and Ultrasound of an abdomen
if you have constipation please take some laxatives in consultation with your doctor
Wish You Good Health
