Stomach Pain After Eating

Today I just went to the doctor for the same problem, extreme pain after I eat... Feels like I just woke up, didn't eat breakfast or lunch and it's afternoon getting punched in the stomach over and over again.

The doctor felt my gallbladder, which sent pain straight through to my back all over! Then he ordered blood tests and ultrasounds...

waiting to see if i have to have it taken out.

but it totally doesn't feel like it would be my gallbladder but the doctor proved that it is. ... just goes to show , you think it's one problem but it's another.

like when i had a toothache that felt like one too but the one next to it was really abscessed.

So ya recently I have been having stomach pains right after i have eaten and then i have to go to the bathroom really badly. The first night this started i couldn't stop throwing up, lately i haven't throw up but the constant stomach pains and going to the bathroom have really been affecting me. Any Clue what could be my problem? P.S. I haven't went to the DR's yet.

Ok so i was just wondering if someone could help me out. I have been having SEVERE lower abdominal pain after i eat. It it terrible, any kind of movement makes it worse. Even laughing, talking, coughing, anything...its really worrying me! I have an appointment with a doctor coming up but this is getting hard to deal with, it makes me not want to even eat! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my problem could be??????????????????
Thank you!

how did the doctor diagnose you with this? I have been having the same problem mainly. Pain after eating, a hungry feeling. but also I feel like I am about to pop (my stomach anyway) and it will keep me up all night! I got 3 hours of sleep last night. I have talked to my doctor and they told me I have acid reflux but taking prilosec has not helped! So I was wondering what they did to diagnose you for this

When I get stomach pains and/or bloating after eating I find that drinking a shot glass full of apple cider viniger or a can of seven up will usually eliminate the problem within 15 minutes.

For me I've been unable to eat beef for about 8 years I do believe. After eating it, it takes around 30 minutes or so for this searing pain, like a knife stabbing into my left side, to start happening. I can feel my stomach start to growl in pain, and it feels like air bubbles are forming. Around the left side below my ribs, in line with my belly button, it normally pinches so sharply I stop breathing because its so agonizing.

Sometimes this pain is so sharp that it hits my back on my lower right side.

A few times the pain will reside on the lower left quadrant and will send a stabbing pain slowly down into my pelvic area.

I went to the doctor several times about this, they made me have an ultrasound for a cyst, but found nothing. Each time they just say I might have ate something weird.

The thing is, it's always with meat. Beef, any grilled meats, or eating any type of fast food item, especially if its greasy. The only thing I have been able to eat that is a meat product is chicken, which completely boggles me.

Does anyone have suggestion? I'm thinking of going to the doctor again, but I'm really starting to lose hope on this.

About I year ago I started getting very bad stomach pains after I ate dairy. Very bad cramping and feeling like I was about to vomit. Never would vomit or had diarrhea. So I have cut dairy out of my diet for the most part. When I do eat dairy it's very low amounts and I take Lactaid. More recently within the last four months every time I eat anything the same pains occur as when I eat dairy. In the last month the pains have gotten worse and I can't find an answer. I havn't been to the Dr yet I've tried researching on my own. Everything I come across it seems that the most two common symptoms are diarrhea and vomiting. Which I don't have, but I know everyone does have different symptoms. I'm a vegetarian and have been for about nine years. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. I do eat really unhealthy, I really eat only about seven things. (Pizza, mac n cheese, soy nuggets, indian food, various fast food, french fries)

this is almost definatly gall stones. does it start straight after eating come and go but always there, make you rock back and forth and is just under the bottom of you right rib cage i'm 26 and had my gall bladder removed because the pain eventually got so horrific. please express gall stones to your doc.

Can Someone Please Help me with my symptoms. A little more than a year ago I had Appendicitis then 4 months later I had Gasto Intestinal Bleeding with no apparent cause, had a colonoscopy they determined it was acid refulx and put me on Prevacid and it helped for maybe less than amonth then started again. Just recently in the last week weeks ive been waking in the mornign with stomach cramps so bad they make me scream almost. Ive been loosing sleep, over it. It seems I cant anything anymore without having a bubbly stomach, and stomach pain sometimes with nasaea but now always, and now ive been getting headaches and pains in my left shoulder too... Im starting to get worried, and no doctor seems to know whats going on, but the pain, th discomfort, and the worry is killing me!! I eat a pretty healthy diet, of meat, rice, bread, veggies, juice, water. I rarely eat fastfood or anything unhealthy and my wife cooks every night. And anything I eat seems to cause me so much discomfort its horrible and its driving me insane!! I lost my financial aid and loans assistance because of this, because I missed so much school!! Its RUINING my LIFE!!

Hi, please help my friend. After she eats she feels pain in her stomache and it bloats. So she stopped eating because it hurts when she eats. It you take your thumb and your first finger, and match them by your nails into a circle, that's how much chicken and corn she eats a DAY! And it STILL hurts her. And she STILL bloats. What could it be?

And yes, that is the first test doctors ignore! All I read here, for the *most* part, is a simple

problem that brings on all other problems--low HCL production.



If a glass of apple cider vinegar calms the pain, then

insufficient HCL production is the cause. This stuff is highly acidic,

and if it doesn't burn you like it should, then you don't have enough acidity in your

stomach to break down foods. It's symptomatic, but let's talk pain relief for now.



The pains after eating are symptomatic of a lot of gas from fermenting bacteria and food

NOT broken down because of low stomach pH. The stomach will feel like it is expanding

until it passes poorly digested food into the small intestine. Depending on what you ate, it could

take from 1-5 hours usually. The small intestines do NOT absorb the gas, but instead passes it

down to the large intestine. Some of the gas goes into the bloodstream, causing pain all

over--your back, your head, joints etc. Mood swings are common.



Someone wrote that they feel better when they eat bending over.

Yes, that is gas overload. Are you constipated? Stomach gas from low HCL in the stomach pushes

down onto gas in the colon. Gas expands the lumen of the intestines and the stomach causing pain.

Bending over causes trapped gas in the transverse colon to leave and go down to the

descending colon. There is also an artery running near your transverse that brings on the nausea.



So, the solution, if apple cider vinegar gives you a hint, is an an HCL trial that might be the missing link.

Antacids will make things worse! You need acid in your stomach. There are Betaine HCL supplements

but dosage and timing and knowing how to correct the problem can be found

on the internet--info from pros.



If gas still persists, well, then you also could have enzyme underproduction. As you hit

your middle years it becomes more common. This is where digestive enzymes are needed.

For me, colon gas is a definite sign. Enzymes are used by the small intestine to properly break

down food. If you don't have enough amylase, then carbs will give you problems.

Lack of protease will give the steak in your tummy no enjoyment. Some people just

take the whole digestive enzyme complex--including pancreatin--to make sure their bases are

covered.



Digestive enzymes are vehemently destroyed in stomach acid.

Some may pass through to the small intestine. I just take two capsules of the best quality

and eat small meals.



However, enzymes will not help digestion work if your HCL production is low.

The cider vinegar test is a good one to try.



So, here is my strategy that has finally brought me back to normal:





Just before meals:



Betaine HCl as needed

Digestive enzymes

Small meal. Is gas is a major problem, then low-gas meals,

like pork and rice. Four small meals a day will do it.



With meal:



Artichoke leaf extract. Very cheap and one of the most researched

substances around. It is known to stimulate peristalsis for those who are

constipated. It also stimulates bile flow from the liver, making digestion not a sluggish, painful

ordeal but an efficient one. Poor bile flow means sluggish digestion.



To cover my bases, I take lots of anti-microbial herbs from time to time that fight

the famous H. Pylori bacteria that sucks the acid from your stomach.

You can ask your doctor for a test for antibodies to this nasty, but common parasite

that can live in your stomach for the rest of your life.



Granted, raising acidity will make the Pylori live there longer, but this is symptomatic for me.

I just, like you, want relief from the pain.

Hi Valerie,

I know this was posted a long time ago, so I am hoping that you have found the answer to your question. If you have not, you definitly should be checked for Celiac disease. It is actually an intolerance to gluten (found in many starchy foods). The symptoms you are describing are classic for Celiac. The test is a simple blood test for antigliadin antibodies. The treatment is a lifelong gluten free diet--not easy, but 100% worth it! :) ...I hope this was helpful to you if you are still struggling with these symptoms!

Good Luck!

I like many others here have had this problem for 3 years. Shortly after my divorce I started having these pains after eating.At first it was just sometimes I thought it was just stress but now it happens all the time.I can eat a hand full of chips to a full meal and still have the same results.First my stomach bloats and I get lightheaded then the pain starts,sometimes it is minimal and other times it is like someone running a sword right thru me.I can drink anything except milk,I can drink beer wine or any hard liquor without any pain then I can eat what ever I want without it hurting but I have to drink at least 4 to 6 beers first.I have seriously thought about becoming an alcoholic just so I can eat when ever I want.I normally only drink a couple times a month. I have no insurance and I can not afford to see a doctor.The only time I can be free and eat is when my boyfriend gives me one of his pain pills which he can't do too often cause he needs them for a bad hip. I did break my ankle last year and I was givin a script for my own pain pills and I was able to eat 3 meals a day I was in heaven.If anyone out there has an answer for all us suffers please help......

have just seen the post for the person that got stomach pain after eating and at night...was wondering have you found any cause yet? just that i have EXACTLY the same and when i went to the doctors they diagnosed a pelvic infection...now i know the nhs probably knows more than me bt i am confused as to why a pelvic infection hurts after eating and at night!

Get urself checked out for Hiatus Hernia ..Trust me .. i had the very same problem for 4 yrs then it took a turn for the worse and i had a nasty Hiatus Hernia and that really puts the sh*t amongst the pigeons i can tell you ...later after many endoscopy's and tests etc etc i had a laprascopic nissen fundoplication which is the operation they do to fix it " well kind of " .... i had the operation on March 8th 2009 .. 9 months ago... and have been in pain ever since .. i cannot eat properly still after all this time .. i have severe chest and stomach pains about 18 hours a day and feel dizzy about 5 days a week ..

So PLEASE DO THESE IN ORDER !!
1..Spend 2 weeks eating plain skinless chicken and drinking just water ..see if that changes.. if it does then you probably have H~Hernia..
2..Have yourself checked for Hiatus Hernia " via endoscopy "
3..Have a real big think if you want to have the operation or spend your life swallowing " LANZOPRAZOLE " Tablets ..

Whatever path you take please do take care
