Stomach Cramps After Eating, Nausea. Pain In The Back And Sides. What Is Causing This?

I have had stomach cramps after eating for a little over a month now. We are trying to find the cause. Nausea is constant. Increased appetite though I always feel full. I am tired more often. Growing abdomen but that could be because of how much I have been eating. I get some random sharp pains in my back, sides and chest every now and then.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Increasing abdominal pain after meals occurs only in 3 conditions: cholecystitis, pancreatitis and peptic ulcer disease.
Stomach cramps may be in favor of cholecystitis or gastroenteritis.
Possibility of gastroenteritis appears to be high as infection may persist for months.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up.
You should also go for ultrasound imaging, liver function test, serum amylase and endoscopy.
You should take complete antibiotic course, probiotics and antispasmodics for getting relief.
Avoid milk and milk related products such as butter, cheese.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
