General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Most likely peptic ulcer disease, in which like the food enters in the stomach the HCl is released which cause pain. Take less spicy food take omeprazole or pantoprazole 30 min before food and evaluate for the cause of peptic ulcer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
