Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have abdominal pain and feeling of fullness post food intake . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like appendicitis , consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products , crohn’s disease , gastroenteritis , irritable bowel syndrome, ovarian cyst and UTI .I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , ultrasound , X-ray and barium study . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for infections or recommend surgery can be required in severe case . For now drinking plenty of water , avoid pain medicationssuch as aspirin, ibuprofen , avoiding solid foods for a few hours and taking over-the-counter gas-reducing medications, such as simethicone drops, digestive enzymes .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
