Right hand upper abdominal pain while eating
This has started less than a week ago and seems to be accompanied by a burning sensation upper central. It is worrying when you experience something new. The pain is to the right and slightly below rib level and hurts as I'm chewing my food , literally just as I swallow it. I'm sorry about keep posting but when something new comes up it can cause a lot of concern especially when associated with eating

my initial thought is - it is the inflammation linked to your recent treats.
and based on the discussion we had ?mid december... are you relaxed and looking forward to meals? do you have enough saliva when you are eating? are the items you are eating moist easy to chew?

My first thought is that you may have developed a case of gastritis.
I had this when I was first diagnosed, although the right side under rib pain was a dull constant. There was burning more central when swallowing though.
Your best bet is to avoid anything that could be potentially irritating your stomach. So for me that would be no alcohol, coffee, chocolate, citrus fruits, fizzy drinks, greasy food (plus sensitivities).
I found ranitidine (zantac) help with the pain. It might be an idea if you can tolerate it.

Thankyou
Hi Chemgirl gastritis is what the doctor says too. I too had the central burning sensation on swallowing but the right side pain was more pronounced . The doctor has prescibed me omeprazole, I got ranitidine at home, I'll have to decide which one to try. Although I don't like this type of medication I got little choice but to try it. I'm pretty much of all the bad foods already , may have squeezed in a couple of coffees lately that's about it . Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post
Jim,
Shame on your doctor. Omeprazole is one of the most common drugs known to cause MC. Many members here blame their MC on the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) they took at the recommendation of their doctors. PPIs also cause many other health problems, including osteoporosis, C. diff infections, SIBO, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, etc.
Ranitidine is an H2 blocker, a type of antihistamine. It will do the same thing that the omeprazole will do (namely, reduce stomach acidity), except that it is much, much safer for your overall health.

No no no to the Omeprazole. My doctor had me on it before the MC diagnosis and it made me feel so wrong. My insides felt hard somehow. Like the worst constipation ever, but I still had D. It was so strange, I would roll over in the night and it was like my intestines were rock hard and poking me from the inside. Of course when I called the doctor he said that wasn't a known side effect, but like Tex says Omeprazole is a known cause of MC so you're not doing yourself any favors taking it.
Have you been tested for H Pylori? It caused my gastritis so I preach about it a lot. It's one of the more common causes of gastritis, but it wouldn't surprise me if gastritis is just part of our disease and doctors just don't know it yet.
Goodluck!!!

MC can affect any part of the digestive tract, but unfortunately the official medical description of the disease only mentions the colon, so most doctors are not even aware that it can affect the rest of the digestive tract.Tex
