What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bloating After Food Intake?

I had a meal last Friday for lunch, and felt overly full and bloated, but did not eat much more then I usually do. Since then, i have had a bloated stomach. I have been taking antacids with little response. After I eat or drink anything but water, I feel stomach pain. I have a mild case of type 2 diabetes that is stabalized. I regularly consume alcoholic beverages. No other symptoms/signs like fever, dizziness, high blood pressure, etc. What is the likelihood that I am having acute pancreatitis. BTW I am male and 68 y/o.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern

full and bloated abdomen after meals is due to gastritis ,,and indigestion
so plz take PPI like pan 40 mg daily twice for 15 days along with unizyme tab. for 15 days once daily

plz try to keep your sugar levels in control.
try to take alcohol regularly as it aggravate the gastritis
don't worry you may not have any pancreatitis

if pain is severe ,let it be controlled and then undergo UGI endoscopy to rule out the diagnosis . ok

try to be away from mental stress ,do regular exercise ,have a sound sleep ok ..it will subside slowly
