I have a discomfort in my left up under my rib cage. Sometimes it feels like a lump when I lay on that side. I have had this since I was in my early twenties, but recently it has been more pronounced and very irritating. I have been told that I have an irritable colon. I have a problem with constipation and have been told to take metamucil every morning. This seems to make matters worse. Somestimes when I eat, I get stomach cramps and diarrhea. I have had lots of different tests over the years and none of them seem to show anything wrong. I am at my wits end with this. I need to know what to do and where to go from here. The last time I went to the Dr. I was told that maybe my Gall Bladder wasn't working correctly. Should I go back and have him check it? Help!
