i'm sorry to hear your granddaughter's going through this especially at such a young age. i'm obviously not a doctor but the first thing that comes to my mind when you describe your granddaughter's symptoms is gastroparesis. in this condition a person's stomach does not empty as quickly as it's supposed to. even though gastroparesis is not common i've known several people with the condition. all of them said they experienced pain in the upper-right quadrant and all of them were frustrated that physicians told them pain is not a symptom of gastroparesis. in my opinion gastroparesis is not well-understood by most physicians. if your granddaughter ultimately is diagnosed with this condition i suggest you find a specialist to help her. she will need someone with deep knowledge of this unusual condition in order to help her learn how to meet her nutritional needs with a stomach that chronically malfunctions. note i'm not attempting to diagnose your granddaughter with gastroparesis. i'm only saying this is one possibility of what's going on based on the information you provided. it may be worth checking into this possibility more -- or at least getting it ruled out. wishing you (and your granddaughter) well! you might check for shingles. i know you are only 18 but i know several young people that have had it. in some cases you have the pain before you see any rash or blisters. i was one of those which made it hard to diagnose. others have the rash or blisters then the pain. it's something to check out. your pain is in the same area my was and it lasted for like a month.
pain in upper right quadrant of abdomen may indicate what. 18 year old grand daughter had gallbladder stmptoms but no stones doctor said bile was crystalizing and bladder was removed. still having problems. food test showed food slow at passing from stomach to intestines. smaller portions have not helped. couple crackers may induce vomiting. what are possible causes?
