A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cramping & bloating: Cramping and bloating under the rib cage in a 23 year old can be due to several common causes: (1) irritable bowel syndrome (ibs)--a tendency to bloat and cramp with stress; (2) chronic constipation; (3) chronic anxiety; (4) celiac disease (gluten intolerance). Ibs is the most common and typical is worse after eating and relieved by having a bowel movement.
