What Causes Pain In Abdomen Followed By Diarrhoea After Taking Food?
I have had increasing stomach pain for several weeks. It is worse after eating, so I hesitate to eat, sometimes not eating all day to avoid the pain. Then when I finally do eat, it is followed by severe diarrhea. The pain is constant, at some level, but after eating, it is really bad.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Severe persistent diarrhea needs to be investigated.There are different possible causes such as: (1)irritable bowel syndrome- this is one of the most common causes
(2) inflammatory bowel disease such as crohns disease, ulcerative colitis
(3)endocrine disorders such as thyroid disease
(4)infections
It would be best to visit your doctor for assessment which would include physical examination , blood and stool tests.
I hope this helps
