What Causes Stomach Pain After Eating?
I would say 95% of the time that I eat I get stomach pain! It does not seem to be caused by any certain foods. This has been going on for about 3 weeks. The first week I feel I had the flu with a temperature and nausea but now the pain eating is continuing but with out the nausea or temperature. Sometimes I do have diarrhea and sometimes not. I keep thinking it will go away. Any suggestions?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If it does not seem to occur with spicy /citrus/ fatty/fried foods then it is not likely due to reflux.
It is possible that there may intolerance to foods or inflammation of some aspect of the gastrointestinal tract.
You may want to consider the use of probiotics to see if they would help restore normal flora.
If it continues or worsens however, your abdomen should be assessed by physical examination and possibly imaging.
I hope this helps
