How To Cure Stomach Pain After Eating?

I have been having sharp stomach pains after I eat and for the past couple days my legs and arms just start having pains. I can't explain it very good. I thought I might be pregnant but I also haven't had my period since the first time I had sex a few months ago and the tests turned out negative. I am worried about the stomach pains I have been having. What could be wrong with my stomach?

Hi there,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.

I read your problem and the first thing which came into mind is gastritis or gastric ulcers.I would ask you to take omeprazole or pantoprazole 40mg tablets for a month every morning empty stomach and see if you get relief.If you do not feel good after this you should go for an upper GI endoscopy.

In the meantime,

Don't smoke, and avoid coffee and alcohol. These habits increase gastric acid production and weaken the mucosal barrier of the GI tract promoting ulcer formation and slowing ulcer healing.

Don't take aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.

Avoid eating any foods that aggravate symptoms.

Hope i could answer you.Feel free to ask anymore queries.
