Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Instant pain on eating is definitely suggestive of Gastritis or stomach cancer or GERD and so on.
This can be diagnosed well by upper GI Endoscopy.
In addition you need a CT scan of the abdomen to rule out gastrointestinal Cancer, to see the status of the liver, pancreas and other organs of the abdomen.
The treatment will solely be dependent upon the findings
