What Causes Upper Abdominal Cramps On Intake Of Food?

I am experience upper stomach pain. Seems like when I eat, I start getting stomach cramps. This just started yesterday, but I started dieting and am eating very differently, many fruits and veggies. Could this be the cause? I just eat an orange and this seemed to start the symptoms.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain upper abdominal pain after taking meals and change in dietary habits can be due to indigestion, Gastrtis, Pancreatitis, acid reflux,gall stones, irritable bowel syndrome, stomach ulcers, allergy or intolerance to any food, ulcerative colitis etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get an Upper G.I endoscopy, Enteroscopy, blood tests done to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treatment can be decided accordingly..
The physician can advise you proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, H2 blocker like Ranitidine, anti-inflammatory medicine and anti spasmodics..
Taking a light meal and adding more yoghurt that is a probiotic in diet and drinking plenty of water can be further benificial..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
