Hello Doc, I have an internal itchy sensation that was preceded by pain for a couple of days underneath my left rib cage. I thought it was gastritis and have limited food intake to very bland fare. I was wondering if this sensation might be something else - at times it can be felt internally toward the back with the same itchy feeling. There is also a bit of bloating and tenderness in the stomach region. Was wondering if this could be a spleen issue or if this is just gastritis/ulcer taking a while to calm down?
Hi there. You appear to be suffering from Acid reflux disease. Avoid lying down after consuming food or fluid for at least half an hour. Avoid fatty, oily, hard, hot or junk food, hot fluids, colas, smoking or alcohol. Consume antacids, plenty of curds, green leafy vegetables, Chat Doctor.  Get a consult with a Gastroenterologist and get an upper GI endoscopy done to confirm this diagnosis.
