I have been experiencing stomach pain for the past year. It feels like something is moving around on the right side of my stomach. I consulted a doctor who said it is a digestion problem, and I also had lab tests done, which showed nothing abnormal. What should I do next?

Long term right sided stomach pain with a moving sensation may be due to gas, IBS, or acidity, even if basic tests are normal. Eat small, frequent meals, avoid spicy and oily food, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly. If pain persists, do an Abdominal Ultrasound and Liver Function Test (LFT) to rule out gallbladder or liver issues. Consult your doctor with these reports if pain continues.

I am experiencing severe discomfort in the upper and middle abdomen, along with bloating and excessive gas. I am currently taking Nexpro L. My epigastric pain has not improved. I have attached my latest blood report and ultrasound. Could you please help me understand which organs might be involved, and whether I can take Rifaximin or Rifagut 200 mg for dyspepsia and gastritis? I would like guidance on the best treatment for dyspepsia, gastritis, and fatty liver.
