Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Possibly you have a sensitive stomach.
Well worthwhile getting some basic tests like complete blood count, stool examination, urine examination, c reactive protein and ultrasound of stomach done to rule out other causes after consulting your physician.
This is very important especially if you have vomiting, loss of appetite or weight loss.
Can try fiber based laxative like isaphgula husk along with liquid paraffin for few days and see how you feel.
In addition take high fiber diet, drink plenty of water, go for a jog or regular walk don't sleep two hours after meals, avoid stress, try some yoga too.
All this will help you in long run.
Can take mild antispasmodic like mebeverine twice a day if available over the counter for 10 days and see how you feel.
Hope this answers your questions.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.
