A member asked:

I have a a pain to the right of my belly button. it seems to happen every time i eat and i'm digesting food. what could this pain be from?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Abdominal pain: Without knowing severity length or other associated factors the location and timing suggest pain from intestinal motility. If severe could be related to referred pain from gallbladder or internal hernia. Should see gastroenterologist for evaluation imaging.
