I have been experiencing right side pain that radiates from my hip to right under my rib cage and have a lot of gas. (It has gone on for the last six years and used to just be mostly at night and now I am feeling it during the day.) I have gone to the doctor, chiropractor, and acupuncturist. I am currently doing a cleanse. Do you have any suggestions as to what I am dealing with?

There are a number of medical problems that might create the pain you are experiencing. It could reflect a problem in your intestines, liver, or gallbladder. Before seeking further holistic perspectives, I recommend that have an appointment with a gastroenterologist to be certain that you don’t have an underlying medical condition. Once you have a clean bill of health, let us know and we can focus on other Ayurvedic and alternative treatments.

With love,
David
