stomach pain
I have been having severe abdominal pain mainly after I eat. I mean it can be anything and I'm in horrible pain it feels like someone stabbed me. right side under my rib cage. and goes to my back. but I also have it in my diafram area and goes up into my chest on the left side. that one doesn't happen as often. please help. IV been to a doc about it and all he said was cut fat and spicy foods out of my diet. I can exactly cut out fat because I'm breast feeding.

Hi.
It is utmost importance to get a proper diagnosis.
I would advise such a patient to undergo Upper GI Endoscopy and minimum ultrasonography of abdomen to come to a conclusion.

This is most probably due to an ulcer in the stomach or duodenum.
The other possibilities will be diagnosed or ruled out with the investigations.
You have to have:
Soft bland diet
Start on Ranitidine or PPI
Antacid gels till you see a Doctor.
