What Causes Frequent Abdominal Pain?
Question: For the last 6-7 days, I am having frequent stomach pains. This usually happens when I eat something (other than fruits and vegetables) and is accompanied by bowel movements. I think this is mainly when I eat even mildly spicy XXXXXXX food. I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, am a vegetarian and have been in the US for the last 2 months.
For the last 2 days, I have been taking fruits and salads for breakfast and lunch and usually it stays normal during this time. But for dinner, even if I eat anything mildly spicy, I usually have to go for bowel movements (no loose motions) and this is accompanied by stomach pain.
