Question:
WHAT CAUSES RIGHT SIDE PAIN AFTER DRINKING ALCOHOL OR EATING SUGAR FREE CANDY?

I dont have a gall bladder and the pain lasts about 1 hr..It is so bad it just about takes my breath away. It doesnt happen with drinking beer or eating anything else. I had RNY surgery 2 yrs ago and have lost 100lbs..    — debbie M. (posted on October 5, 2005)

Too much sugar can cause dumping syndrome, which may manifest as right-side pain. Alcohol is also high in sugar.

your liver has to pick up where your gallbladder left off it provides a small amount of acid to the pouch to aid in digestion and when you eat high amounts of sugar. you over work it at least thats the way my doc explained it to me, dumping is no fun anyway and when you stress the liver out at the same time it causes the right side pain avoid high amounts of sugar and see if that helps you.. good luck stephanie
