brandonsunshine Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I am male 25 years old. I’ve been experiencing this sensation on the right side of my abdomen where I feel really gassy. I also get a full feeling. Then that gassy full feeling sometimes goes to my back, but on right side just below the rib cage. I’m not in any pain, but it is annoying. I have also noticed these symptoms are heightened after eating. I have had this going on for just a little over a month, is this something I need to get checked out?

Jeffrey Roberts Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Based on your description, it does not seem like IBS-like. I'm basing that on the Rome IV classification which looks for: Quote Recurrent abdominal pain, on average, at least 1 day per week in the last 3 months, associated with 2 or more of the following criteria: 1. Related to defecation 2. Associated with a change in frequency of stool 3. Associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool Criteria fulfilled for the last 3 months with symptoms onset at least 6 months before diagnosis. The general rule that if you are feeling something that is impacting your daily life then it is worth having a conversation with a doctor.

brandonsunshine Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 So are you saying that this not IBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Roberts Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm not a doctor. Only a doctor can diagnose you. In my opinion, no, it does not seem like IBS, based on the classic diagnostic criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren72 Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Could be your gallbladder. Yes, I would go get it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
