Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intermittent sharp pain around the navel . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like appendicitis , crohn’s disease , gastroenteritis , irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infection .
Kidney stone or kidney infection can also cause such symptoms . Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and apply warm compresses on your stomach. I would suggest you to avoid above mentioned foods , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals . Also take probiotics food like yogurt .
If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe ornidazole , omeprazole , laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids . Doctor may also refer you to urologist for UTI or nephrologist for kidney problem . .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
