What Causes Severe Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

I have had a stomach ache for approximately 1 week. It is like rolling pain. Like waves of pain. It is causing my back to hurt as well. I also feel extremely fatigued. The pain is in the center top part of my abdomen and it is on the left side too. The pain is also in the left side of my back. I was really sick vomiting and diarrhea last Wednesday so I thought I had food poisoning but I m still having this pain thats not going away.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
You seem to have gastritis following acute gastro enteritis.sore lining of stomach causes pain due to the acid secreations in stomach... which causes infigestion &gas formation which causes pain in upper abdomen as wellas in the back.
You should try to limit your food to a bland..nonspicy or oily food/avoid tea or coffeeor fasting.Take over the counter proton pump inhibiters like Ranitidine 300mg twicw a day along with the suggested diet.
Cold milk taken in sips may help.
Lactobacillus supliments are needed to conbat normal intestinal flora damage.
*Consult a gastroenterologist for more specific advise.
Thanks
