Hello! I Had A Bit Of Dietary Indescretion A Few

Posted on Fri, 30 Aug 2019

Question: Hello! I had a bit of dietary indescretion a few nights ago. I had just returned from a concert and was a little drunk. I ordered a pizza and ended up eating the entire thing. Shortly thereafter, I feel asleep. I woke up about 5 hours later to fairly intense and uncomfortable stomach cramps. When they were occurring, the cramp itself would last about five seconds and recur every 30 seconds. After a few minutes, the cramp went away and did not return for many hours. Today, Wednesday, I still feel abdominal discomfort, though the intensity and frequency is nowhere what I was feeling a couple days ago. I was hoping to get some information on what is likely going on and ways to get back on track, digestively. Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Indigestion or gallbladder issues, buscopan can help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you were expecting possible indigestion due to excessive eating and increased alcohol intake.
Also another possibility is that you may have inflammation of gallbladder and gallbladder stones.
If possible you can do an abdominal ultrasound.
You can take buscopan to relieve the abdominal pain.
Also keep yourself under observations.
If pain still continues after 5 days of first occurrence then it is not a simple indigestion. You may need to get evaluated doing a total blood count and biochemical blood balance and ultrasound too.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
