Is Abdominal Cramps After Eating Due To Food Poisoning?

Got sick after 3-4 hours after eating. Abdominal cramps, no diarhea and no vomiting but almost. Since then i have abdominal cramps when I eat ( not after but a few minutes after firs bite). 20 years ago i had something like this and had to take sulfamide to get rid of. Is it a bacteria or food poisoning or both ?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This type of pain can occur as a reflex.
Seen in case of either appendicitis, colonic problem, gastritis or gastric ulcer.
You say you have a typical cramp when you eat.
I would advise the following:
Ultrasonography to rule out appendicitis and other inflammatory diseases.
Upper GI Endoscopy for esophagus, stomach and duodenum.
It is better to get a proper diagnosis than just a symptomatic treatment.
Let this be a directed treatment otherwise these problems become recurrent.

I find this answer helpful
