ANY info would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
The causes of stomach pain after eating are many, and range from stomach ulcer to stomach cancer. In the case of stomach ulcer, eating alkaline food such as milk will help alleviate the pain. Blockage of the mesenteric artery (mesenteric insufficiency) due to thrombus or atherosclerotic plague can result in sharp pain because the blood supply to the intestine cannot keep pace with its increased demand following the ingestion of food. The symptoms of early stomach cancer often resemble that of stomach ulcer. Yes. I think it is important for you to go to the ER if you have to. Your life may depend on it.
