Stomach Ache Upon Eating. Medication?
I have had a very upset stomach for last 5 days i haven't gotten sick just an upset stomach. It started suddenly late Thursday night to the point I couldn't stand up. If I stood up I felt like I was going to be sick I finally got to bed and went to sleep. Ever since then I wake up with either a slight stomach ache or nothing. But when I eat anything I either get a stomach ache right as I'm eating or like three minuets later I'll get one. Ive been living of toast and soup for the last five days because thats all my stomach can seem to handle

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Stomach pain after eating occurs in three conditions: cholecystitis, pancreatitis and peptic ulcer disease.
With the available described symptoms there could be high possibility of peptic ulcer disease in stomach.
Gastric ulcer gets irritated after taking food and may cause severe pain.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ general surgeon and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for complete blood count, blood sugar, serum electrolytes, and serum amylase.
You should also go for ultrasound imaging and x ray abdomen.
You should also go for endoscopy for better clarification of upper gastrointestinal tract.
You should also take proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics.
You should avoid tomatoes, and citrus fruits.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
