What Is Extreme Abdominal Pain Post Food Intake Suggestive Of?
I m having severe stomach pains after eating anything. I have tried cutting fatty foods out and limiting myself to one cup of coffee per day...the rest of the time i drink water. the pain gets so bad i cannot get any relief for hours. this has been going on for about four-five weeks. i have trapped gas that i can t seem to get relief from...burping or the other. i think this is also causing my headaches. also, i have only used the bathroom 4 times since the problem has occurred and those times i have had to take dulcolax to do so.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have extreme abdominal pain post food intake . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like appendicitis , consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products , crohn’s disease , gastroenteritis , irritable bowel syndrome, ovarian cyst and UTI .I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , ultrasound , X-ray and barium study . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for infections or recommend surgery can be required in severe case . For now drinking plenty of water , avoid pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen , avoiding solid foods for a few hours and taking over-the-counter gas-reducing medications, such as simethicone drops, digestive enzymes . Take probiotic food as it will help in improving digestion and avoid light and non spicy . Also take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and apply warm compresses on abdomen .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
