21 year old healthy male IBS (most likely) Pain in upper right quadrandt (RUQ)
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello fellow patients,
I want to start off my giving a background story of my problem. In early July (6 months ago) I started having dull, flank (maybe spasism) like pain in my right upper quadrant side. It has been bothering me almost every day for the past 6 months. I think I also have a very mild case of constipation due to the fact that I have stopped chewing tobacco too since then. This all started from a heavy night of drinking Rye Whiskey 2 nights in a row ( I don't drink a ton but a fair amount for 21-year-old but have really stopped drinking since July) The pain doesn't have a specific time when it starts or stops and doesn't revolve around when I eat or not. It's quite random but its consistent and annoys me enough to take a toll on my everyday life. I'm almost sure it is an IBS problem (spastic colon) because I have no other symptoms (as I said I'm very healthy and normal). Around Thanksgiving I had a CT scan that showed nothing other than backed-up stool. CT scan showed that I have no liver problems, gall bladder, or kidney issues. I've tried everything like Metamucil, Citrcel, IBgard, and FDgard. What seems to trigger it is coffee and alcohol, but not right away, maybe 12-24 hours later. I've really cut coffee and alcohol out of my diet but the pain still occurs, just a little less. Has anyone had anything like this!? Any suggestions on medications or healing remedies? Do you think it's my colon? Comments, suggestions, and questions are all greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I've never had an irritation of any kind with wheats or rye before this. I dont think I have gluten intolerance or anything either. That is always possible.
