What Causes Nausea And Pain Below Ribs After Eating?

I am a 19 year old female. I have been having nausea after eating especially meats and fast food or I will get really bad stomach pains. I am also having pains below my ribs and towards the middle of my back. It started on the right side but a couple of weeks ago I had really bad pains on my left sides. It felt like someone was stabbing me. I had a bladder infection back in february but i took antibiotics for it...could there still be a lingering infection? My WBC in my urine was 35 but my doctor said nothing was growing.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

There is nothing to worry in you.

Antibiotics prescribed to you for bladder infection is the cause of the acidity to you. Once you take the antibiotics it can cause gastritis.

Because of this gastritis you feel pain. Spicy foods like meat and others aggravates the symptoms and pain. So better avoid this food and relieved by the pain.

You can take the pantoprazole and dicyclomine. This combination can relieve pain and acidity both.

Please do not eat spicy foods, you can also take the cold milk when you feel such a painfull episode this will neutralise the acid and immediately relieves the pain.

You can take small frequent diet. Avoid single heavy meal that can cause acidity. Walk a while after each meal till you burp. This will allow the food to go down in the intestine and prevent the acidity.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
