Chronic Right-Side Abdominal/Back Gallbladder Pain
Digestive Health | Last Active: Nov 12, 2022 | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
I am hoping to find some help. For years now I have had flare ups (for lack of better terms) that begin with spontaneous vomiting. I can be fine then will have to throw up. Soon after I have pain in my left side just under my rib cage. Spent a week in the hospital a year ago and left with no diagnosis. Comes and goes. No specific food seems to cause it.
I have a history of diverticulitis and years ago was diagnosed with Crones but that diagnosis was incorrect. Had to go to the ER twice in 2 days with nausea and severe cramping. The pain now has started to spread to my rib cage.
I have no insurance and CT scans and blood work show nothing other than a slightly high white count.
Last year they found a touch of gastritis.
I do have an a uerysm on my celiac artery but know my symptoms are unrelated.
I can’t afford a colonoscopy with no insurance and currently am unemployed but cannot get any type of assistance. I am a 60 year old female.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @ritaself
I have read your post and I am sorry to hear about these uncomfortable symptoms and your lack of access to medical help currently. During the time of your hospitalization were any. meds suggested? Do you try to follow a diet for diverticulitis? What OTC products do you use to treat your current symptoms?
Perhaps by answering these questions you can help us understand more about your history of this long standing problem. Will you post again?

While we are not medical professionals and cannot provide a diagnosis, I trust that members here who have experienced these types of symptoms will have some insights for you and provide some support.
When you have experienced these flareups beginning with the vomiting, have you noted anything about what has precipitated the incidents - what you were doing, what you ate, medication you took, etc.?
