Can Dietary Changes Cause Abdominal Pain?
I m having some pain in my upper middle abdomen. It started this morning and has persisted through the day. It s tender when I push on it. Its a dull pane, and I m wondering if its something dietary. BTW I had an appendectomy about 1.5 years ago, so we can count this out.

hello there,
upper middle pain which is tender on pressure application can be most commonly due to peptic ulcer, gall bladder or liver or pancreatic pathology. check if the pain relieves on food intake or increases after food intake, is it related to alcohol intake.
Take rantac 150mg or omeprazole 20mg twice daily for 2 weeks.
Get a USG abdomen and upper GI endoscopy done if ineffective to above treatment.
