What Causes Pain In The Stomach After Eating?
What are some causes of why I am getting a stomach ache 2-3 hours after I eat? I had a blood test for H. Pylori, CBC and Lipase~ all coming back negative. I had an abdominal Ultrasound performed and that cam back negative as well. I was given Prevacid 30mg daily. The one thing that does work & relieves my symptoms is liquid Mylanta. I ve had this going on for 3 weeks now.

Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
You are having acidity related symptoms. That is the reason why you are getting relief with Mylanta.
It could be gastritis or ulcer. An upper GI endoscopy may be done to confirm it.
Another common cause of stomach ache is pancreatitis which has been ruled out in your case as your ultrasound scan and lipase are normal.
You can continue taking Prevacid and Mylanta for relief.
