I was diagnosed with gastritis a few years ago and it was just below my sternum like a gnawing pain. The past week I've had pain just above my navel on the right side. The pain started as sharp, sometimes it feels like a cramp or a burning and it comes and goes. Today day 5, the pain is radiating to my lower ribs and also towards my belly button. My other symptoms include chronic indigestion, nausea, tenderness when I press on the area and also my stools smell very acidic. Sorry TMI Does anyone else get right sided pain near or around their belly button with their gastritis? Ive had an ultrasound so all my organs are ok. I'm just feeling really frustrated, stressed and upset.
