What Causes Severe Pain Above The Navel?

I ve have ongoing stabbing pain in my stomach for 2 1/2 weeks, which started out above the belly button for about 10 days, along with barely being able to eat anything without feeling extremely full. After the 10 days of barely eating, I felt ok for about 2-3 days, and now the pain has moved to below the belly button, along with lots of gas, some bouts of diarrhea, and feelings of acid. I ve been taking Pepcid AC for almost this entire time. All along, I ve had mild back pain, mostly lower or middle. I ve read a lot about what it could be, but it seems like it could be various things. During this whole time, I feel the best when I have no food in my stomach, like right when I wake up in the morning. Any advice would be great.

it's a gastritis and acidity problem.
Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
