Based on symptoms you described this conditions mostly due to kidney stones. Do a ultrasound of abdomen and IVU to assess qualitatively. Find out whether it is oxalate or phosphate stones. Differential diagnosis in the right iliac region is appendicitis. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid milk, meat and egg.

Wish you speedy recovery.

Thank you
