hi I have had a painful abdomen for a few months now - changes on bowel habit and anorexia - i could go days without eating and not bother - i have episodes of really loose stool and it doesnt matter what I eat as there is no real pattern - on omeprazole as GP thinks its gastritis but I get aching all around my abdomen and lower back - all bloods are normal
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Pain around the abdomen may be due to gastritis or infection or Peptic ulcer disease or Irritable bowel syndrome or food Intolerance or malobsorption syndromes or infection etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks, avoid dairy products and lactose contain food.
if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
