Brief Answer:
Peptic ulcer or gallsotnes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Your symptoms may be caused by peptic ulcer, stomach inflammation or gallstones.
Stomach issues usually give pain located in the upper middle abdomen. Nausea and vomiting can be present. The symptoms are associated with foods intake.
Gallstones give the pain in the upper right abdomen which radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting are very characteristic. The pain usually appears after fatty foods, spicy foods intake. Gallstones pain is usually sharp. Stomach pain is dull.
I suggest you to visit your doctor and have abdominal ultrasound done and blood work. If nothing will be found, gastroscopy should be next.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
