What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Cramps After Food?

You should have colonoscopy done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptoms can be caused by partial bowels obstruction. At your age (over 50) partial bowels obstruction can be caused by colon cancer. Typical symptoms of partial bowels obstruction are cramps, bloating, occasional gas and/or stool obstruction. Stool and gas excretion gives relief. Nausea and vomiting are also very characteristic for this issue.
If the pain is localized in the upper middle abdomen, peptic ulcer should be also considered.
However colon cancer is the first thing to rule out.
I suggest you to consult your doctor. Blood work, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal x-ray should be done at first. Colonoscopy should be the next step.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
