Hi,

Most probably it is an attack of duodenitis. The loop of intestine that extends from stomach towards right side is called duodenum. Any inflammation there can have caused your problem since all other organs in the region are normal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Geeta Sundar
