What Causes Sharp Abdominal Pain Post Food Intake?
My mother started having sharp abdominal pains (central abdomen - stomach) about three weeks ago. The pains start about two hours after eating. It does not seem to matter what she eats to trigger these pains. The pains are consistent and go away after an hour or so. She is 90 years old, white, 5 7 , 165, born in Minnesota, has not traveled out of the country or away from her home in FL for several years.

It is due to some sort of gastric infection. Take some antibiotic like norflox-tz or oflox-oz after an expert opinion along with meftal-spaz or cyclopam for the abdominal cramps. Take cap rekool-d or omez-d empty stomach. If still not improved then you have to go for abdominal ultrasound to isolate the cause and take further treatment.
