What Causes Pain Under The Right Chest Area, Abdominal Bloating And Gastritis?

I have been in horrible pain for 2 years now. The docs have checked me for everything and can t figure it out. It all started when my house burned down 2 yrs ago. My intestines are extremely inflamed. My belly looks like I m 8 months pregnant. I can t eat anything or I m in terrible pain. I m full of gas but can t get it to come out. I burp small burps about every 5 mins when I lay on my right side, turn over to my left or stand up and I burp big. Any little bit of pressure, especially right under my breast in the middle, (where my bra goes) make me sick. I can t exercise because the pain is too bad. I have tried EVERYTHING over the counter meds, all the health food store has recommended and all the RX the docs have tried. Nothing works. HELP!!

Hi,

A certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating, it may be a sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.

So you should do gastroenterology work up but first, try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.

Also, there are medications such as Flobian, Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue.

If there won't be an improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
