Hi.
Thanks for your query.
If the pain is easing on local pressure or raises the legs and increases on eating indicates that the pain below the naval may be due to :
Lymph node mass or diverticulitis.
It is also possible that it may be of he sensory nervous system, the nerves in the back being pressed by the compressing inter-vertebral discs.
I would advise your friend to do the following:
First of all get a clinical evaluation and physical examination done by a general Surgeon as the history is not going with any of the settled diagnostic character, in fact is contradictory
It is possible that he is malignaring , telling the lies for whatever the reasons may be.
TO get the CT scan of the abdomen, colonoscopy and Endoscopy and MRI of the spine to confirm or rule out any probable diagnosis.
Symptomatic treatment may be required.

Hello
I appreciate your concern
abdominal pain which relieves on pressure and increases with food could be due to a stomach ulcer or acid peptic disease which can occur due to stomach hyperacidity
in my opinion you should take your friend to a gastroenterologist for upper GI endoscopy and PPI group of medicines like omeprazole and syrup sucralfate for immediate relief
ask him to avoid fatty fried and spicy foods or carbonated drinks
plenty of fluids and fresh fruits to be given
Hope this addresses your question
good luck
