What Causes Persistent Pain In Stomach Just After Eating?
Hello i have an ache in my stomach which is quite painful and it came after i ate my lunch today at work. I know that it isnt indigestion or heartburn, it has been 9 hours since i ate. This pain is a continous ache that seems to spread a little around my stomach area.I am a fit and healthy male aged 22, i eat well and don't use drugs. Incase it helps i work in a hot greenhouse which is around 40 degrees celsius and drink lots of water every day.
I have not experienced this pain before and the only condition i could find on the internet with similar symptoms to mine was kidney stones but i find this a bit unlikely. Please help!

Hello,
The reason is acute gastritis most likely after certain food consumption. The primary guidelines recommended for better outcome are:
- Drink more liquids in sessions to get better digestion.
- Follow strict dietary measures to prefer cereals, pulses, legumes, organic fresh fruits.
- OTC (Over-the-counter) available Omeprazole drug with sips of water morning and evening before meals help if you prefer to take.
- If the pain score gets decline over next 24 hours, then can wait for further 2 to 3 days for full recovery; if pain score remains same, then visit your doctor immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
