Hi ~ I Started Not Feeling Well With Abdominal Pain
Question: Hi ~ I started not feeling well with abdominal pain (sometimes lower, sometimes middle & sometimes upper; but always crampy and dull accompanied by gas) this past Tues mid-day. Also had eye ache at the same time. So I've been eating bland things like crackers, hard boiled eggs, chicken soup, and last night I had some broiled chicken string beans, whole wheat toast, grapes and a tangerine - all of which sat ok in my stomach but then I started to get a scratchy throat and now I am coughing a scratchy cough (no runny nose or post nasal) and I have crampiness in my gut again today (I've only had a couple of crackers and some broiled chicken, tea and water so far today.
Brief Answer:
Gastritis is possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Reading your symptoms I think you may be suffering from gastritis and is hyperacidity and esophageal reflux ( the upcoming of stomach fluids in oesophagus) which may have caused scratching throat.
The foods that you are using are suitable to reduce acidity and also to reduce bloating.
Eat them often and in small portions.
Stop eating after 7 pm.
Sleep with your head elevated.
Also you can use antiacids such maalox found otc in pharmacy.
Also using simethicone can reduce gass and bloating.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Ok Thanks ~ I do feel under the weather so might be a virus. Also gastritis bacterial or viral? Lastly, I was worried that it is something more sinister like some form of cancer but I would have other symptoms if it were, right?
Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem something to suspect cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Possibly it can be gastritis, helicobacter pylori may be the main cause of it. Also there is a possibility of being a gastrointestinal viral infection.
I don't there is a cancer possibility with such symptoms.
Main signs of cancer are vomiting blood, or blood in feces. Also pain and mass in abdomen.
Also lymph nodes may be found.
