What Causes Severe Stomachache?
what could cause severe stomach pain that happens numerous times per day and had been happening for about 6 months? I take Tums but they don t really help and since I have taken about 12-16 extra strength Tums per day for the last 6 months, I m concerned about the amount of calcium I am consuming.

Hello,
As per your complain you have problem of stomach pain that may be because of gastric ulcer or gastritis or other reasons. Mention the intensity and duration of pain with aggravating factor. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Special investigation like endoscopy can be done, if needed. Detailed history and investigation are helpful for diagnosis. Avoid spicy food, coffee, tea and too fatty foods in diet. Drink a more water per day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
