What Causes Swelling Between Ribs In Liver And Abdominal Area?
My liver and abdominal area between my ribs swell when I consume red meat such as beef and too much pepper. I also struggle with food allergies and hives. I have had aa chronic epstein barr infection in the past. Could this be some kind of liver disease as result of epstein barr?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the presence of the gas in the intestine. I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound and a stool test for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest to use a spasmolytic to relieve the swelling such as Buscopan 10 mg. I also suggest to use daily probiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
