Should see a Doc: This could be a number of things. On the right side, you think of liver and gallbladder issues. It sounds like gallbladder stones, but again, could be many different things. If it is gallstones, avoid fatty foods as it will make it act up. It could also be your pancreas. Either way, i would recommend seeing a physician for a thorough history and physical. Simple testing will answer a lot.
