What Causes Pain In Middle Abdomen Every Time After Eating Or Drinking?
I have been having pain in middle abdomen every time I eat or drink. Water even makes me have pain that radiates to my right upper abdomen around to my back. The pain started a few weeks ago all of the sudden 2 hours after drinking water. It didn t happen again until last week. The pain started then i had bouts of diarrhea for 2 days. Now I just have pain after eating or drinking. I have mostly drank ensure for last week and only ate toast. I do not have a gallbladder or appendix still. I have had stomach erosion in 2013 and I have had this pain before they took out my gallbladder.

Hi,
From your symptoms,it is most likely that your pain is most likely due to gastric ulcer,as you had given a history of previous erosions.
If i were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed you a course of ppi like omeprazole and domperidone,
Antacid gel,
Anti-biotic like amoxycillin and metronidazole in the required dosage.
I would have also advised you to undergo some tests like
complete blood count,
liver function test,
upper g.i endoscopy,
stool for occult blood.
If your symptoms worsen,i would advise you to go and consult your GP/Gastroenterologist for a thorough clinical examination and get these medicines prescribed at the earliest.
Avoid smoking or alcohol if you have any of these bad habits.
Try to have a bland diet at least for a period of 15 days.
Hope your query is solved.
Take care
