for the last 4 years I’ve had excruciating rib pain, that causes me to feel breathless and unable to move it’s so bad. It’s like a gnawing pain that gets worse with water rather then better sometimes I can make myself throw up and it stops but others I can’t be sick and it gets worse and worse. It started when I’d have chocolate or sugar but now it seems to just randomly come on atleast once a week. Diet fizzy drinks are no longer enjoyable either as they cause it. I’m so limited on what I can eat and drink as even some high sugar fruits cause it. I’m in agony tonight and I can’t cope. doctors have put it down to ‘ sugar intolerance so just don’t eat sugar ‘ but no tests have taken place expect a test to make sure it’s not celiac disease. any advice? I’m lower end healthy BMI and eat VERY healthy. my ribs do seem to be flared

Could it be your gallbladder?

Or even a stomach ulcer?

You need further tests to work out what's causing it. Go back to your gp and tell him your symptoms have worsened. Hope you get it sorted soon

Hiatal hernia?

Have they done bloods? Tested for H Pylori? I'd ask for these and a coeliac test as well. I'd then ask for a scan.

Definitely sounds like your gallbladder.
