Suggest Remedy For Abdominal Pain That Gets Worse With Spicy Food
Question: I have been having abdominal pain. It's mostly on my left side. Comes and goes but sometimes stays for days. Coffee, spicy foods and alcohol make it worse.
Brief Answer:
Mostly gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Wwelcome to healthcaremagic
I understand your concern and read your query properly. After reading your condition, I have come to provisional diagnosis that is gastritis.
I would suggest you to stop eating Spicy food or alcohol, these might aggravate your problem. Take 3-4 meals a day. Try not to keep your stomach empty.
Take pantoprazole tablets for a month every morning empty stomach, to see if your symptoms subside. Drink lots of water and quit alcohol. Alcohol damages stomach mucosa and helps in forming stomach ulcers.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask more.

Ok, but i have been taking Prilosec OTC and still have symptoms. Sometimes feel pain in my back, right behind stomach. Bland food seems to help. Acidic foods make symtoms much worse.
Brief Answer:
Pancreatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam,
Welcome back,
As you have added one more symptom that your pain radiates to the back also, one more provisional diagnosis pancreatitis fits your condition.
If you have already been taking prilosec and still having symptoms I would order for serum amylase and lipase to rule out pancreatitis. Your should consult your nearest physician and discuss about it.
Hope i cleared your doubt. Feel free to ask more.Get well soon and stop drinking completely.
