Brief Answer:
Hernia or prolapsed stomach to be determined by following exams....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

From what you reporting, possible hernia or prolapsed stomach are suspected. Further ultrasound and ct-scan of the abdomen is advised to determine the right cause.

Until you get those exams done, I advise to :
- take otc pain killers
- avoid lifting heavy weights or running abdominal stretching exercises
- take antacids after meal

Let me know if you have more queries!
