Cramping left ribs: Does it go away on own or after BM? May be reflux/ gastritis which worsens when on the right side ( left side would put stomach in more dependent position) try prevecid/ ranitidine x 1 months if not allergic, May be disc, try pillow btwn legs. Consider gallbladder , pancreas ( via ultrasound/ CT abdomen/pelvis),colon and get a mammogram.. Rarely vascular/heart. Follow up w/doc/urgent care
