What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain At Nights?

My mom has been sick for months. She started losing weight and at Dr found her blood oxygen was 88% while up and walking. She then developed SEVERE abdominal pain only at night, then food (meat) would make her vomit. The Dr finally removed gallbladder a week ago. The problem has not gone away. She has no appetite, she feels off balance, and hands tremor. Her abdominal pain is still SEVERE at night.

Hi.
The only diseases where there is pain in the abdomen can be a few::
Algid Malaria- called so for abdominal presentation of malaria. There is severe pain in abdomen mainly at night.
Please discuss this with Her treating Doctor, go for tests of blood particularly for malaria by slide method and by antigen tests.
Empirical treatment with anti-malarial may help her a lot.
On the safer side to rule out other problems- it is better to go for CT scan of the abdomen.
I hope this will help your Mother.
