Suggest A Treatment For Stomach Ache
I have been having stomach pains right in the middle above the navel with bloating for the past three weeks followed by soft stole with occasional getting sick. First week thought might have been food posioning because it began within an hour after eating a chicken pot pie from a resturant. Still only eating one to two meals the past two weeks and still have soft stole after I eat anything almost right away. This is not normal for me. The stomach pain still comes and goes but sometimes very painful. What could this be and should I be concerned?

Hi,
The commonest cause of stomach ache above the navel is gastritis or peptic ulcer disease. A fibroscopy might be needed, with a gastroenterologist putting some tubes to visualize and take images of the stomach and upper intestines (small) could be needed to make a good diagnosis. Liver disease and pancreatic could also present as such. Liver function tests and an abdominal ultrasound could be quite helpful. Kind regards
