Newbie-Question re: bloating , etc...

I have been researching looking for an answer to my symptons to no avail.
Thank goodness I have found this board! Any help and guidance please.

About 2 weeks ago I noticed my abdomen was a bit extended, however I didn't much about it, I thought it was weight gain.
But last week I started getting a pain in my upper, right abdomen under my ribs. It has now moved an has stayed about 4 inches above my navel right under my ribs. Sort of a constant pain.

Yesterday I started have gas really bad, then a bout with diarrhea. Last night and today I'm passing gas big time. Thru both ends ,LOL
I'm barley eating at all. Even a glass of water bloats me. Today, I had almost forgot about it , when a took 2 bites of food and my stomach bolated and the pain started.

As I sit here typing I must sit erect or I am very uncomfortable and I can only wear my PJ's..

My first thought is gallbaldder!
My mom, sister and daughter have had their's removed.

Any feedback! Please ....

Thanks you Wren!

I will go to the doctor. : )

I was just wondering if my symptoms sounded familiar.
