Can a 17 year old guy get Gallstones ????

After I eat ,Under my upper right rib cage I feel like there is a gas or something, no pain. Do u think I have Gallstones ? I do snack a lot and for some reason when I sit in the computer chair i feel this gassy feeling and littel discomfort but no pain. For the past 2 weeks I been drinking cranberry juice.

you: may have Ir ratable Bowel Syndrome (IBS),
could be low on stomach enzymes,
be allergic to sugar, fructose, sucrose, wheat, milk
(Lactose Intolerant), egg, corn, nuts, soy, MSG, saccharin,
aspartame, or gallstones/kidney stones.
A good idea is to keep a detailed list of the foods you eat, day-to-day (a food diary), and go to your Dr. and get an x-ray or MRI to check for the stones.
Make sure you bring your food diary, your medical records ( if you have them), and a list of the medications and OTC (over the counter) drugs you take- your Dr. will appreciate that.
All the best to you.

maybe its not gallstone since you said that it was something gassy

Nobody is immune to gallstones. Specially if have Sickle Cell Anemia, and or overweight.
Favors women but guys get them too.

i believe so yea

This could be a multitude of things. It could be gallstones. Your best bet would be to see the doctor because it could be something much worse.
