I have had lower abdominal pain for 1 week. I went to the ER and had a CT with contrast and the doctor stated I had a inflammed stomach with inflammation duodenum bulb. I was told to take Maalox 30 minutes before eating and after I do that, I get more stomach pain about 2 hours after I eat. I can not eat food without feeling lower abdominal pain. My blood work, platelet levels, urine test, pelvic exam were normal. I can not live with this pain every day, Please advise what I should do. I am also diabetic that takes metformin, and takes simvastation for elevated cholesterol. Blood pressure is normal and I am 49 years old.
