I have been having persistent pain on my upper left side , under the ribs radiating to the back, after I suffered food poisoning 1 week ago. I have been constipated and very bloated. Passing gas has also been an issue. I do not know what to do to relieve the bloating. I do not think this has anything to do with my GERD or hiatal hernia. Or does it? The pain is dull but always in one spot. What exams must I require from the doctor?
You can go for a breath test for HPylori infection.
This is a serious condition. Go for an exam and treatment immediately instead of asking questions.
