Are you saying you had bloating while you were drinking? Did you have pain while you were drinking? I definitely advise you to continue with medical treatment and testing. I can say though, I had pain for the last nearly 2 years in the upper right under my ribs, as well as pain, tingling and numbness in my back. I had an ultrasound, upper GI, liver and pancreas tests and things looked normal. I did notice that drinking seemed to make it worse. Well, I stopped drinking 3 weeks ago and the pain and numbness is gone! I am still undergoing testing to rule out the gallbladder, and just for piece of mind, but it seems it may have been the alcohol all along.
