What Can Cause Upper Abdominal Pain With Heart Burning?

I've been having upper abdominal pains since Sunday afternoon. I was woken up in my sleep by the pain for the past couple of nights. I wanted to go to my doctor yesterday but the office was closed and it sure is today due to Chinese New Years. I have work soon today and I'm leaving out of town to LA with some friends tomorrow, so I did a WWW.WWWW.WW search and narrowed down my symptoms to food poisoning, among other things. I was trying to think about any unusual foods I ate over the weekend and I know I had left over Spring Rolls from Jimmy's house Saturday morning, and then the next thing that came to mind was possible E-coli in the burgers I ate at Chilli's that night, but I can't be sure since I spent all of Sunday eating a lot of random stuff from home, but don't remember what. Milyene had came home Sunday with some pearl milk tea and my pain didn't start until right after I finished the pearl tea, at that point I had just thought it might be upset stomach since I'm lactose intolerant, but it didn't go away like it usual does... I thought it might have just been gas since it felt better when I did fart haha, or cramps since I was expecting my period (I started my period last night so I'm definitely not pregnant) but then by Mondaay night, I had terrible diarrhea, I threw up by purging since I felt nauseated a couple of times all day Monday. Monday night I felt like I had heart burn, and I never have heart burn! Tuesday and Wednesday I was OK it seemed untill the pain came back at night. I don't think and hope it's not worms since I do feel full after eating enough.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The cause of upper abdomen pain with heart burning is intestine infection
with gastritis. Primary guidelines for better recovery are:

- Drink more liquid in sessions.
- Diet should be consisting of less content of cholesterol, fat and spices.
- Proton pump inhibitor as Omeprazole on empty stomach and antacid syrup
intake supports.
- Get prescription of GI antibiotic, pro-biotic from your general physician for faster recovery.
