Too early to tell...Nothing alarming for now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this stomach pain that you have reported.
The nature of this pain alongside your symptoms isn't that alarming for now. I will like us to obtain more information before making some conclusions on whether this pain is related to a stomach infection or not.
At times, a meal that doesn't settle well with our system can be responsible for this. The symptoms usually disappear and need no further attention.
For now, I recommend watchful waiting. If the pain get worse, you develop a fever or have ore watery stools, please inform me so that we can probe further an make some more reflections and recommendations. I am more of the opinion that these symptoms would disappear without need for ant further medical intervention.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Fee free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hi and thanks for following up with me.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain after eating. Yes, try some Tylenol and let's see what happens. Are you still having to use the bathroom more frequent than usual? Also, try and drink much water.
Can you try to locate this pain for me? It would be difficult to even associate it with any particular structure in the abdomen with no idea on where it is located.
I hope this helps and I wish you well.
