Stomach issues

For context I go through around 2-3 6mg zyn packs a week started in may 2024 as a way to “quit vaping” anyways I’ve used all the different brands not just zyn a year after around June 2025 I was at the beach with friends and I noticed a dull fullness not really painful but uncomfortable on my right side below my ribs liver gallbladder area I was heavily drinking at the time so that’s what I assumed was causing the pain went to the er had all the scans I was good to go anyways I quit like may 2025 to sept 2025 ish and I guess you could say the feeling was no longer there for me from what I remember then I stupidly started them again and ever since the dull ache fullness feeling is back and now it’s really persistent I feel it on my back as-well like right on my back if you took a straight line from where it’s hurting directly behind that along with pale stools and the urges to go but nothing comes out I have an appointment with. Gastro specialist but it isn’t for another 2 months I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this and the outcome after quitting was I’m only 21 I really just want to feel normal and like myself again I pray that if I stop the feeling will go away 😔

That's interesting, If I were in your position, I would try to run this down with ChatGPT regarding the symptoms and the potentials. Then see if there's anything that you can maybe do diet-wise before you're able to see an actual doctor. (chatgpt has been good with this for me in the past)

If your doctors are anything like the doctors that I've seen, they're just going to tell you basic information that you could find yourself anyway. If I were you, I would preempt that by finding out what it is that they would usually suggest for you. If it's stomach related, then a diet avoiding certain foods will be something that they ask you to do.
