What Causes Stomach Pain After Eating?
Question: My son is 14yrs old. Everytime he eats he starts getting stomach ache, What might be the reason of his pain?
Brief Answer:
Could be due to gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your child's problem seems to be due to gastritis. A prolonged gap between meals would essentially lead to accumulation of stomach acids (which are meant to help in digestion but the food simply does not come). Alternatively, when the stomach acids are secreted while he eats, he gets the abdominal pain.
In order to provide relief, you need to ask for the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Give Lanzol Junior tablet (lansoprazole) 30mg/Nexium (esomeprazole) XXXXXXX once daily before breakfast.
* Give plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase his dietary fiber intake.
* Regular playing or exercise for at 1 hour a day to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Give curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
