Right side abdominal pain

[Deepseathree]

In the past few days I've recently began to start feeling a pain in my right abdominal during the night and in the mornings. It's a sharp pain. Almost like a gnawing burinig pain. It seems to go away as the do goes on and is only prevalent in the very early mornings. It's 3:26 am now for me. The pain will be gone before the afternoon I think. I don't know if this is related to me sleeping on my right side for an extended period of time. That was my first thought, but I didn't think it was as the pain is a little too prevalent to me for that. But I didn't rule that out. The area itself is slightly tender to touch as well.

Hello,
I've had right sided abdominal pain that is tender to the touch and comes and goes for over a year now. I've had all sorts of tests, including an MRI and it's been put down to IBS and diet related pain. For me, when I cut down on onion, garlic, alcohol and caffeine I noticed a decent improvement. Worth keeping a food diary or thinking if you had a lot of a certain type of food that may have triggered it. Obviously, there's lots of possibilities, but that was my experience. Also, it might be worth trying peppermint tea, and / or anti acid tablets (gaviscon / rennie), whenever I get any sort of stomach pain, a combination of those usually helps.
