How Can Nausea And Stomach Pain, Caused After Having Potato Chips, Be Treated?
About 3 hours ago I ate a small bowl of Patato chips. About 3 minutes later I started to feel nasaushas and then the discomfort started in the pit of my stomach. It abated for a while but has come back in spades. Stomach hurts as well as some pain across my stomach. Position does not help or alleviate discomfort or pain.

Dear patient,
I understand your concerns about your pain and nausea.
the following points should be taken into consideration:
1- Nausea and abdominal pain that starts few hours after ingestion of food without diarrhea is a case of gastritis. which means that there is an irritation of your stomach.
2- The best treatment for such pain is the following:
A- PPI such as nexium 40 mg (esmoprazole) one tablet orally once daily before eating by 15 to 30 minutes
B- anti-spasmotic such as spasfon or buscopan or scopinal to ease the abdominal pain as needed
C- metoclopramide (primperan 10mg) 1 tablet orally every 8 hours as needed for nausea
3- you might have loose stools or diarrhea in the next 12 to 24 hours and hence keep yourself hydrated and monitor your temperature.
best regards
