Abdominal pain is very common nowadays, this is due to fast life adjustments which also includes our dietary patterns and food type we eat.

Explanation:

  • Abdominal pain can be due to several reasons, some of them are not so serious and self-limited only arising from eating something or some viral health issues. The pain lasts for a few seconds to minutes. Major cause being acidity which can be controlled by an antacid and with a check on food patterns.
  • As in the case of Mary who has been complaining of more severe abdominal pain, that is sharp and occurs in mid epigastrium which is the mid-upper abdomen.
  • And this pain occurs after her favorite meals, there can be several underlying possibilities to this.
  • It can gastritis (inflammation of stomach lining) and it can be due to infections, acid or alcohols and symptoms include; heartburn, nausea, and aching or burning pain.
  • Peptic Ulcers, gastroparesis and pancreatitis in all these disorders have nausea, worsening pain radiating to back or shoulders and pain lasts longer after having certain meals.
