Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr Singer,

Thank you for posting your health concern here.

After going through your question, I think you might have an upset stomach and this can be easily managed by taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Omeprazole 20 milligrams twice a day for 3 to 5 days.

At this time I do not think there is much to worry.

Watch out for loose stools, worsening pains, blood in the stools, fever, vomiting, in which case, considering your age, it would be prudent to visit your local doctor and get properly examined and take additional treatment.

Maintain good hydration by taking enough fluids orally.

I suppose that should be all for now, if you have any doubts please feel free to revert to me, I would be glad to help you further.

Wishing you speedy recovery.

Best wishes.
