Detailed Answer:
Hello & thank you for submitting your question.
Abdominal pain can be due to several causes. Gastritis, reflux, and gastric emptying can produce abdominal pain. Intestinal cramping due to gas or colitis/enteritis can also cause discomfort. The gall bladder can also be suspect in cases of abdominal pain. Unfortunately, only more investigation with a physical examination and possibly more imaging studies can help find the cause of your pain. I encourage you to pursue this further with your doctor and get to the bottom of this.
Again, thank you for submitting hour question and I hope this provided some help.
Take care,
Dr G
