What causes liver pain after eating? - #12432
I am really worried because I've been feeling this strange discomfort in my upper right abdomen after I eat. Like, I thought it was just heartburn or something, but it feels different and more intense! It happens almost every time I have a meal that’s a little heavier, especially greasy foods. Last weekend, I went out for burgers and fries and boy, for hours after, I felt this nagging pain that just wouldn't go away. I started doing some research and found out that maybe it could be related to my liver? What causes liver pain after eating? I've heard that certain foods can trigger liver issues but I'm not sure what exactly to avoid. I also have a couple of friends who say they're lactose intolerant, and that made me wonder if I could have a food intolerance? I am just so confused right now. Like, is this something I should take seriously? What causes liver pain after eating and how do I know if it’s really my liver that's causing this pain? Is there a simple test I could ask my doctor about? I'm scared it might be something serious! Any insights would be super helpful.
