Do you use anything like metamucil or citrocel? I have had the same discomfort right under my left breast and ribcage area with the associated bloating that occurs. Luckily it has not been bad enough to warrant treatment. I did find tho that if I daily use one dose of the above products I feel better. My doc told me it was adhesions as well. Sadly, surgery to release adhesions just causes more adhesions. Try some yoga stretches too. Hope you feel better.

Thank you for the info. Yes, I do use benefiber every day but continue to have problems. Do you recommend a special diet? Do you know of anything that seems to help or hurt the situation?

I am female currently going through the same problem. I have a constant left side ache right under my rib cage that radiates into my lower abdomen and back. They just found that I have a "wheat/gluten" allergy from a simple blood test. Now I have to have an endoscopic exam to check if I have "celiac disease." I guess this can cause a lot of gastro problems due to the allergy. 1 in 133 people have this. Four years ago I had a colonoscopy, ct scan (kidneys & abdomen), and anything else you can think of for the same pain and it would come and go. Now it doesn't go anywhere. I just started taking zelnorm for ibs 7 days ago. Can't tell yet if this will help, it hasn't so far. I also have a adhesions around my colon which could be the problem, but now with this wheat thing, they are looking in that direction. I hope this is of some help to someone.
