Brief Answer:
inflammation in your abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are probably having some inflammation in your abdomen. it could be anything from focal cholecystitis to diffuse peritoneal or mesenteric inflammation.
I believe you need an ultrasonogram of abdomen for localizing the pain. Constant pain for more than 3 months in your age is no casual thing, and i strongly recommend you to visit a general surgeon.
Meanwhile, take food in little quantities, avoid heavy, hot and spicy items. you may also try an antacid like omeprazole 20 mg.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. All the best.
