What Causes Abdominal Pain And Occasional Vomiting?
Question: my wife is from Thailand and there is a slight language barrier especially in medical terms. She has been complaining about her stomach the past week. She keeps telling me that it feels like her tummy is tightening and moving up and down . She keeps rubbing her belly and saying that it feels like its moving up and down. Not painful or crampy.
