 Hi star_light294,
I don't think you are squashing your tummy or intestines. Were you exposed to Hepatitis C when you had your children, for example, did you have a blood transfusion? If you did and are showing any signs or symptoms of hep-c make an appointment with your family doctor to discuss these concerns. The CDC has an informative website for hepatitis.
http://www.cdc.gov/ If you weren't exposed to it, then I would suggest that you may want to have your gallbladder checked out especially if certain foods make the pain on your right side worse. Alleviate your concerns and make an appointment with your family doctor.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
