Do you still have your gall bladder? If so, I'd be willing to bet that might be your culprit.

If that isn't it, let me know and I can do more research.

I was having severe vomiting of bile 2-3 months ago. MD put me on Previcid OTC and the vomiting is under control. Had very sensitive area under front right rib cage . Yes i do have my gallbladder. Can the pain move to the back. It is crippling somedays
Thanks

Hi Frenchie

Thanks for getting back to me!

Yup, Gall Stone pain sure can move to the back. I would give the doctor a call. They will do an ultrasound to rule it out.

Hope that helps,

Kerry
