For about a year now I have suffered from lower abdominal, and upper abdominal pain.

I had always had an uncomfortable feeling under my left/right ribs and in the middle of my chest/stomach area. After many doctor visits, and MANY tests, they discovered my gall bladder had quit working. The Doctor said that is what was causing all of my pain.

I then had my gall bladder removed. While they were in there, they found that I had a ‘small, and not serious’ uterus infection. I’m currently on antibiotics and treatments for that.

The pain in the lower abdominal area isn’t as bad. Still there, but slowly getting better.

I have noticed now that the pain under my left rib has came back. It’s been almost a month since my surgery. When I went for the follow up, with the surgeon, he asked how I was feeling and I told him fine. Then, a day or two later, it flared up.

I have been getting symptoms as if my gall bladder was still there. I’ve been belching quite a bit. I’ve been experiencing the discomfort between my ribs/top stomach area, and a nagging pain in the left side, under my rib. (Same spot it was in due to gall bladder issues)

I can’t understand why these pains have come back? Is it the foods I have been eating? I really haven’t watched my diet, and I’ve been drinking a lot of Orange Juice (Which, I do have acid reflux disease), and I’ve been eating things such as pizza, chinese, etc.

Do you think it’s my diet causing these pains?
