Pain upper left quadrant

Pain upper left quadrant

Hi:

I have had full abdominal CT with contrast inlcuding pelvis scan - with normal results. I have left upper quadrant pain and sometimes left side gurgling noises. I have a dull ache in the organs under my ribs. My spleen is not enlarged. Blodd tests normal. 48 year old healthy female.  This has been going on for 6 months. The GI and internal med docs are saying I am fine.  I am not the kind of person to make up pain or worry like this. It sometimes hurts more after eating.  Any help/ideas would be great for me as I am lost about what to do next.  It does not hurt to touch, I have very little and mild heartburn, but really mild.  IT feels like upper gas pockets ot gurgling that I can feel in my upper left abdomen under ribs.

I wrote you a reply and lost it, so here's hoping it doesn't show up for the second time!

Last year I had a CT scan with contrast of chest, abdo and pelvis, however nothing untoward showed up at all. My symptoms kept continuing with others added and in August this year I had a HRCT (High Resonance CT) which revealed Bronchiectasis in both lungs.

FURTHERMORE after increasingly troublesome stomach issues (which I also had last year) I asked for a Gastroscopy in November this year and it revealed a large Paraoesophageal Hernia.

Needless to say I am somewhat sceptical about CT's with contrast.
