What Causes Severe Stomachache After Swallowing Food?
Sometimes when I first start to eat, immediately after swallowing, I get intense stomach pain ( I feel it s cramping ) Sometimes it will last thru the meal; other times just first 2-5 min. Often I will stop and it will pass or if I wait between swallowing it will lessen

Hi ..
Thanks for contacting HCM..
You experience pain abdomen immediately after taking food.
It could be because of longer gap between the meals which leads to dryness of upper GI tract..
Some people can experience hiccups also..
So take food at regular intervals of 3 hrs and drink 200ml of water before taking food.If you are smoke or take alcohol stop it.
Incase the pain continues take upper GI endoscopy and it should find out pathology if so any.
Take care .
