Boy oh boy I'm certainly not having a good week at all.....woke up this morning feeling like crap....

by dinner time I was getting some really strong bad pain? In my stomach area? Under my ribs central on my right side by my belly button? Is this peri related ? I have had this before not long ago but I slept it off as I was lucky enough it started as I was in bed?.

had this for few hours now taken some Gaviscon a nirofen plus tablet which none have done any good.

the pain now is mild but uncomfortable. Can I ask if anyone has any ideas what this could be?is it something I should be querying with the doctor, the last time I did mention to the doctor he said it could be IBSEN and try Buscion??? Soooo I did try and did help abit but I don't have ins as I had this ruled out not long ago by a GP!!

i go regularly to the toilet anyway!!.the pain comes randomly and as I write this,does anyone have any suggestio's please

.as I have a family it's not that easy to just to go upto bed as my partner is out!! And have tea's to make very soon....any help please..

    Hiya 

    i have had some of the same problem since started peri, it comes and goes...mine is  left side of my abdomen and just under my ribcage. Can get very painful indeed, My doctor says it's reflux and have been taking omeprazole and also gelucil, it's help me a lot, I have also cut down on spicy foods and greasy food as it makes it worse....Pain have stopped.

    maybe try checking it out with your doctor to see what he says about your symptoms....

    if its like a colicy pain, if so, you could try warm water, or, as hot as you can take it, see if that shifts it, Slow digestion and, gas is very common during peri, causes constipation and colicy pains, once  the gas has gone into the bowels though, you have to wait for it to come out the other end before it goes, very hard to shift colic once its gone into the  bowels, if you dont think its down to this, try the hot water anyway see if it does help, if iit has been caused by slow digestion you need to eat small meals, dont drink during th emeal if you can, or sip tiny amounts, but drink half glass water before your meal, have your meal, then lie down flat until its gone through better,takes about 30 mins for it to go through better, this will avoid the colic pain,  once its gone through, the bloating and gas will ease, can you relate to any of this?  otherwise,  cant think what else it could be.

    Shelly, first of all I would like to say thank God for your Ipad (mine keeps freezing, which is why I'm on the lap top) it really made me laugh. You have chronic Ibsen - well I never did like his plays!!lol

    Does the pain come in waves? The reason I ask is that I had endometriosis on my gut - just to the right of my belly button and your description sounded so familiar. It was such an odd place for it to be that the 'experts' were treating me for IBS for ages - and getting nowhere. It flared up every month irritating my gut and making me feel nauseous. I don't like taking things like Gaviscon but ginger tea and nibbling a piece of candied ginger were very soothing.

    Hope you get it sorted soon

    Hi Shelly,

    I wonder why it always seem to be the right side?

    Anyway hot water bottle and agree with bobbysgirl ginger tea it works wonders for nausea.

    Hi Shelly

    I would see the docotr, the area your referring to is where your liver and other vital organs such as bladder, pancreas. It can be many things. Good luck!

    Dear shelly

    With peri i had gastitis that was more discomfort to the left (obviously where stomach sits) could be anything digestive or possibly gallbladder related? I also had infected gallbladder years ago and this affected me more to the right side, also with gallbladder it affects shoulder blade (pain) the right one x

    I will say infected gallbladder never showed up on any tests, it was only when removed that the problem was found, do you have discomfort after eating fatty foods? X

    Can be gall bladder which is related to peri apparently.  I had a continuing nagging pain under right side of rib cage and also felt incredibly sick - they are peri related. Having gotten myself into a complete state, the symptoms felt worse with the anxiety etc etc.  This is the problem with us all getting into a state about these awful symptoms.  I had an abdominal scan in the end - went to the doctor and didn't leave until I had a referral as completely had enough.  Was also put on omeprazole which helped and some anti sickness pills.  Had scan - showed nothing.  All was fine.  And funnily enough having discovered that, the symptoms went but they do come back from time to time but as I now know what it is, I don't get into a state and the symptoms are mild.  I hope this helps you and so sorry you are feeling like this.  It does go away - but get it checked out and mention gall bladder.  Good luck

      Hi ladies,

      Like pinkcatfairy says your Gall bladder hurts on top of your shoulder.

      I sometimes get that pain under the right rib and it does seem to be if I've eaten a lot of fat so it probably is coming from the gall bladder.

      But my husband had it also my grandmother and their pain was on the top if their shoulders.

      Yes i was told ibs, but i persevered with it and after so long i finally found out it was my gallbladder, because it was infected and had not stones, it wasn't picked up on scans mri, ct scan, ultrasound) It might not be gallbladder related but persist to get it checked out all the same. X

      IBS is the new word to cover up Perry menopause. Doctors have no idea what we go through. Unless it fits some Louisville really specializes in hormonal and balances they really have no clue as to how to help us. A lot of our symptoms attack multiple organs and had to why we see so many different specialist from a GI to a newer o2 a endocrinologist its ridiculous. We are not crazy but we will figure it out lol
