Hello,

You are having dull pain on the sides of the abdomen and you are also having discomfort under the ribs. Your symptoms are indicative of GERD, gastritis, liver dysfunction, hepatomegaly, gall stones, IBS, etc. You are suggested to get liver function tests done, get investigations / imaging tests done to rule out or detect gallstones, etc. To get relief, take Pantoprazole (pan-40mg), one SOS when needed. You should take boiled food, avoid oily, spicy, junk food.

Stay away from trans fat, full fat dairy, refined flour, carbs, red meat, etc. Take lean meat, small fishes, lots of berries, fruits, veggies with well cooked whole cereals. To boost appetite, you can take liver tonics. Avoid staying constipated. Take laxatives for better bowel movement. Stay away from stress & addictions if any. You can get repeat liver function tests done but continue your healthy eating lifestyle changes. The symptoms should get reduced.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
