What Causes Upper Abdominal Pain After Eating?

This started about a week ago and started happening everyday. I would eat something and then about 15-30 min later i would feel this ache in my upper abdomen or stomach. This would then lead to a feeling of needed to go, and sometimes I actually do go. Most of the time I would just be able to feel something moving in my bowels, I'm sure you all know that feeling.

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat from outside if you do as intestinal infection could creep in from outside. If yes, it could be the feature of amebiasis, a common infection for those who eat from outside, which is never so hygienic. I would advise you to go for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and get it treated which would relieve your symptoms. Till then, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor along with a probiotic for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
