Brief Answer: Fatty food induced Detailed Answer: Hi, Welcome to XXXXXXX After reviewing your case we can come to conclusion that you are facing problems due to fatty meals or drinks.. Usually after ingestion of alcohol or drinks, there will be stimulation of liver and gall bladder to secrete enzymes. But in your case gall bladder is removed so food will take longer to get digested. So you may experience right sided pain. Even you might have right sided pain due to acute gastritis You consult your doctor once. Stop taking alcohol completly. Secondly liver enzyme extract syrups are available which can be taleo two times a day. Adding a proton pump inhibitor like pantaprazole with domperidone with help. Kindly consult your doctor to know if you have contraindications to these. Thanks,
