Pain in the right upper abdomen and below the ribs after meals may be gallbladder stones, cholecystitis, inflammation of the digestive tract or ulcers. 1. Gallbladder stones: After meals, due to the rapid emptying of the gallbladder, the inner wall of the gallbladder is stimulated by gallbladder stones and causes pain in the right upper abdomen. 2. Cholecystitis: Eating some too greasy food will stimulate the gallbladder and cause bile stagnation leading to biliary colic symptoms. 3. Inflammation or ulcers in the digestive tract: after eating, as food enters the gastrointestinal tract, it stimulates the already ulcerated gastric mucosa to produce more gastric acid, which makes the damage to the mucosa more serious and the pain intensifies. There may be other reasons for the pain in the right upper abdomen and below the ribs after meals, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy.
