What Causes Severe Back Pain After Eating Food?

My husband sweats profusely when he eats and then complains of pain after eating even small amounts. His says his stomach and back hurt after eating just 3-5 bites of food. This has been going on for months. What could this be and what kind of a doctor would it be best to try and get him to go see

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since you have mentioned that he suffers from stomach ache after having food, the most likely cause can be gastrointestinal. It can be due to:

1) irregular eating habit
2) alcoholism
3) eating spicy and oily food a lot
4) working night shifts

Since it is a chronic complaint I would recommend you to get it evaluated by a gastroenterologist. Till then you can relieve symptoms by using antacids like mucainegel. It will only relieve him for the time being. But getting evaluated thoroughly is a must.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
