Hello,
You may be suffering from gastritis which may be relieved by intake of proton pump inhibitors. So avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Avoid stress and intake of pain killer medication. Pain may be due to splenic flexure syndrome or irritable bowel syndrome etc.
Until examination is done by both clinically and investigation it is difficult to say what it is.
Please consult your gastroenterologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
