First off i think i screwed up i ate some coleslaw that had poppy seeds in it (did not notice actually my husband saw them first) and have been feeling pain since. if i am laying down i'm ok and if i dont eat anything the pain is not as bad maybe a 3 or 4 but if i eat it seems to increase to a 6 or 7 and i notice i am holding my right side below my ribs but above my bellybuttom. it has been three days i dont want to be a big baby about it and my surgeon is three hours away so i was hoping it would just pass...what do you guys think can poppy seeds cause this? should i just go a few more days and see how it goes maybe just stick to protien drinks to see if it eases up? thanks in advace.

Gallbladder? Your PCP or hospital can check. If pain is at a 7, I wouldn't wait for a few days.

Gallbladder pain won't go away with repositioning. Does it come and go? Or is it always hurting? That is the right area for the pain to be, as well as the fact that it gets stronger when you eat. Sounds like its time to get in to see the doc...better safe then sorry.

My gallbladder pain came and went. It hurt more after a meal with high fat. After about 30-45 minutes it wouldn't hurt as bad and was in the same place you are describing.

it comes and goes and i am in no pain if i am laying down/sleeping also not running a fever will call the doc in the morning thanks guys

I had the exact same thing! I had a contact dull sensation in my right upper quadrant. I had a few episodes of severe pain. I went and got a hida scan and an ultrasound yesterday and wouldn't ya know, lots of stones and blockage! The ct in the er only showed sludge. Call ur surgeon and get an ultra sound.
