gas feeling under left rib, fullness, and moveable lump

I had this EXACT thing and tested positive for d fragilis, an intestinal parasite often misdiagnosed as IBS!

Please get tested for parasites - I had the same.and diagnosed with d fragilis infection which they told me for years was IBS. Landed me in hospital which was when I was finally diagnosed.

I'm 14 years old bot and the doctors say its a gas bubble in my intestine and just to take a laxative, and yet 3 weeks later im still having the stabbing pain under my right ribs. Also, they said the pains should only last a little while (5-10 minutes max) and they usually have but lately they've been getting longer and more painful. as i am typing this paragraph im in pain from it and this time it's not going away. It's been here for going on 4 hours ever since 2:45 and its now 7:24. Please help if you know whats happening to me.... please.

thanks for your time

Wow! I am having the EXACT same problem. Visible heartbeat in chest and stomach as well as a weird gas like bubble under my left rib cage. I am an in shape 22 year old female although I do not sleep enough due to college but yes! It's been a few months and I have yet to figure out what is going on with my body

Hi I'm 15 and female I have had a lump on the left set of my ribs for two weeks , every time I touch it it's goes in between my ribs , it's causing me a ton of pain in my shoulder on the left side and my whole back , it comes back very soon after going in between the ribs , I don't know what to do Please help me ?

Hey, i have the same and I am booked in for an ultrasound tomorrow, I will let you know what they say x

Can you please tell me what the findings were from your doctor?

I was feeling the same and after an ER visit I was diagnosed with kidney stones. After being admitted to the hospital and one day later I had surgery and my gallbladder was removed.

Probiotics daily 10+ strains, I get Dr. Stephen Langer formula from Swanson foods. Also, after my tea is brewed, I add a tablespoon of Chia Seeds to help me avoid Constipation. For the lump on my left rib which Dr. said is muscle probably injury, I am massaging and it feels like it 8 going down. That is all I know for now...

I will try to stay connected to this post to let you all know what answers (god willing) I come by. It's amazing how common it is for people to forget to check back in!! ;)

I, too, have many of these (if not all and then some) symptoms. I was diagnosed with gastroesophogial reflux in August '14, but I am not entirely sold that this is the culprit for many/most of my symptoms, as I am missing the one, most identifiable symptom of GR: heartburn. 

The main symptoms I experience are: Bloating; Belching (which helps to relieve bloating, even if temporary); Dull ache under left rib area; Soft, Mushy Tan Stool (for about the last 10months, up to 80% of the time **although taking a probiotic does seem to help firm it up); A Soft Moveable, Sausage-shaped lump/mass that comes and goes, and sometimes even bulges upward from my abdomen when lying down (I am able to push it back down and it doesn't hurt); Pulsating Artery, which feels awfully close to the surface of my stomach (left side); Periodic Fatigue (haven't had this in awhile, but I do sleep 9-10 hours a night); Tightness in chest; Shortness of breath (exacerbated by caffeine); A localised tender spot, on the left side of abdoment/stomach area (I have to push deep into my stomach to feel it), which feels less like a sharp pain and more like a dull, uncomfortable muted pain (kind of like having a knot in your back). The spot is not hard and I can't even really decipher if it's the tissue that I am pushing on, which is the origin of the pain, or if it's pushing into something that hurts? I've had this pain for well over a year and first noticed it when I was pregnant with my son and many months before I came down with the above symptoms. 

I am a BRCA1 carrier, which means I am at an increased risk of getting breast and/or ovarian cancer (same as Angelina Jolie, as seen in recent news). So obviously these symptoms first ring the bell that these are all related to my ovaries. When the symptoms began last May, my first stop was my OBGYN, who scheduled a Pelvic Ultrasound for me. That came back normal. I also am part of a BRCA trial that monitors my CA-125 as a blood test every 6 months and so far that has been normal (although not the most reliable in detecting early cancer, but better than nothing). I go back to my OBGYN in a month and will follow up with another ultrasound, perhaps even a vaginal ultrasound this go-around. 

A couple other things to note:

1.) I noticed a hard lymph node in my neck about 5months ago, had an ultrasound, which came back normal, with the exception that I should follow up in a few months to make sure it hasn't changed/grown. I am now 5 months down the road and it doesn't seem to have grown much, if at all, but will follow up with another ultrasound to make sure. 

2.) I am a Graphic Designer and sit at the computer for many hours each day. I do notice that my symptoms are much more noticeable when sitting and alone. By contrast, when I am active and/or in a public setting, my symptoms are greatly diminished and/or not as noticeable. Definitely a correlation there, but not sure if this might be an actual culprit? Wondering how many of you can say the same?

So, that's about it in a nutshell. 

Have them check your gallbladder.

I had the same concern. I was thin when I was in my late teens and felt that same movable bump/lump. It was fecal matter. I was just feeling my hard poop in my abdomen (intestine). I would see a doctor though because I am not a doctor and I would hate for you to take my experience literally. Don't be shy in asking him/her about that "lump/mass". Best wishes!

I have this exact same thing. I am a 17 year old girl. I am also extremely anxious and worried, I have an ultrasound scheduled 2 or 3 weeks from now, but I am still worried. Did you ever get a diagnosis?

Do any of you with this problem have major breathing problems? Im not sure why some people are saying this sh*t goes away in 3days they obviously dont have the same thing. I too have been to ultra sound n they find nothing. Also done thyroid.. celiac.. xrays. An sh*t so much more its beyound me. N still all i herd was take antiacids. BS. Ya helps on the very least of the helping scale. All i know is non of my muscles seem to work on the left side n noticible when lifting a weight. Its like my lower ribs and muscles r stuck up in my witch would be this ball under r left rinb we keep feeling running its path along downtowards your hip.
