Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Felt pain in stomach after eating- seems empty and hollow, rumbles some times. Seen a Doctor who gave Omeprazole, no result in 12 days.
My thoughts:
Since Omeprazole has not given any benefits, the problems is more than just acidity.
I would advise you the following:
X-ray of the abdomen in staning position.
Ultrasonography.
Tests of stool, blood and urine.
Clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon.
All these will point to a particular cause and the diagnosis will be made.
If there is an infection, a course of an antibiotic and probiotic will solve your problem. If the cause is surgical you may need a surgical intervention.
