What Causes Stomach Pain After Eating Food Along With Swelling?
almost evytime I eat anything, when my food reaches my stomach I get this most excruciating pain just above my belly button I cant sit stand lie or walk about to relieve it and no painkillers seem to help, it takes approximately six or more hours before I get any relief. I have been to the doctors and he is sending me for a test with the camera and I have had a ultra sound scan to rule out gallstones. My stomach always looks swollen and I get extremely tired and light headed.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Such a severe pain on the food reaching the stomach is suggestive of a big stomach ulcer or an obstruction in the upper part of gastrointestinal system.
I would advise you the following on an urgent basis::
Upper GI Endoscopy and biopsy.
Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen.
Colonoscopy.
This will give the diagnosis and treatment will depend upon the findings.
