I (ever since I had my dd Autumn) go through these "boughts" that come and go sometimes last a day, sometimes a couple weeks...I get this pain in my upper right side, feels like some one is tugging at my ribs. It goes to the center of my tummy. it feels more "Superficial" than deep. The past week I have been constipated, but I have been going everyday. I say constipated because it isn't much, very strained, and I don't feel empty. I feel like I have ppulled mmy stomach & rib muscles. After I eat the pain travels over to the left side. I chugged some pepto, it is ok for now. I have IBS, before I had Autumn is was always diarreah, now it is constipation. I get alot of acid too, like milk will curdle in the back of my throat and I wake up in the morning with a taste in my mouth like had vomited. Everyone I talk to says it sounds like I have gallstones/gallbladder attacks. Others say it is acid reflux, and then of course it all boils down to my IBS. Thing is when I get this way if it is bad I will get dizzy until I poop.... Sorry this is gross, but it is driving me nuts! I am also extremely gassy when I go...alot of times tghats all I do is pass gas that would put a trucker to shame. Really I feel gross!
When this happens I feel like the wind is getting knocked out of me. It hurst to wear a bra when it gets this bad, like the strap that goes around me is constricting.....

I would have an ultrasound or Hida Scan to test your GB as that's what it sounds like. I had mine out in March and all my problems started while I was pregnant with my son(he's now a year old). The right rib pain definately sounds like GB. Alot of times GB problems start during or after a pregnancy--did with both me and my mom.
Good Luck!
