What Does A Burning Sensation In Abdomen After Having Food Indicate?
Everytime I take a bite or drink of something as soon as it gets past my esophagus I feel this unbearable burning for about 10 seconds. It hurts so bad I ve only eaten a hand full of crackers theven last 5 days. Water doesn t seem to be so bad but I can still feel a little something when I drink water even. The doctor prescribed me something equivalent to Prilosec I believe but didn t help at all, been taking it for 2 days. Energy levels are low from not eating I assume. Not sure what to do next besides go to hospital for endoscopy.

Hello,
Burning pain in abdomen with eating food is caused due to gastric ulcer, GERD, lower esophageal ulcer, stomach neck tumors, lower esophageal tumors, enlarged thyroid, esophageal web or Parkinsonism. The most probable cause is GERD. The treatment for GERD is tab. Pantop 40 mg before food, antacid to be taken daily, OMEZ insta sachets.
This will reduce the pain remarkably. Don't lie down for 2 hours after having meals. Head must be elevated while sleeping by 8 inches. For a specific diagnosis, you need to undergo few tests like upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Your symptoms are due to peptic ulcer disease or gastroesophageal reflux. Tab. Esomeprazole 40 mg once daily before food for at least 3 months is advised. Take a sachet of OMEZ insta and empty into half a glass of water and drink it. Severe pain and burning will be reduced. Any over the counter antacid can be taken. If all the above measures fail, then you need to undergo an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
