My mother started having sharp abdominal pains (central abdomen - stomach) about three weeks ago. The pains start about two hours after eating. It does not seem to matter what she eats to trigger these pains. The pains are consistent and go away after an hour or so. She is 90 years old, white, 5 7 , 165, born in Minnesota, has not traveled out of the country or away from her home in FL for several years.
