Hello. I am a 26 year old male. I have been doing the ChatDoctor oral drop diet protocal for almost a month now. It seems to be working great as I have lost 30 pounds so far. When I stick to the protocol I feel fine. A couple times now on days when I have been out of town and ate a little bit different foods, I wake up at about 2 in the morning with a pretty bad pain in my right side. Below my ribs and to the side of my abdomen. It usually lasts for a couple hours. But during that time is pretty horrible. What could this be and how could I prevent it?
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would not advise you for any chemical or Chat Doctor.  Fast reduction in weight might give rise to gall stones, which might be responsible for your pains after food from outside. Apart from this, food from outside might also get intestinal infections with it and cause your symptoms. Therefore, I would advise you to go for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and an ultrasound abdomen, and also a serum amylase and lipase if you are used to consuming alcohol. Till the investigation reports are out, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor, along with a probiotic and an anti-spasmodic
