What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bloating After The Food?

I have abdominal pain 2 ton3 hours after eating. It feels like I have eaten a big turkey dinner when I haven t eaten hardly anything. It is accompanied by bloating, cramping, gurgling noises and gas. I am undergoing chemo for lung cancer and scans show my abdomen is clear of cancer. What could be the cause? This just started a month ago.

Hi welcome to HCM...

As you are taking chemotherapy , by its side effect you can have gastritis or small gastric ulcer leading pain....

For that acidity should be reduced by antacid like omeprazole on empty stomach before meal for two week....

Avoid gastric irritants like ....
-excess tea and coffe
-smoking
-non veg food
-excess spicy foods etc....

Here you can have functional constipation associated as gas formation is there ...
For that diegene syrup can be taken...
Include more fiber in diet like wheat bran , whole grain , apple etc...

Avoid gas forming foods like ...
-onion
-cabbage
-cauliflower
-turnip etc....

Take care

Advise : gastroenterologist consultation..
