What Causes Warm Feeling In The Abdomen?
For a few days now I have been experiencing a warm feeling (like a rush) in my abdomen while drinking hot coffee or other fluid (sometimes also when eating hot food). It happens just after the sip is taken and lasts for a second or so. Any idea what this could be?

Hi,
That can be initial stage of gastritis. The hot food could have damaged the stomach mucosal lining to cause an ulcer, leading to your symptoms.
Also, presence of food increases acid production in the stomach, which irritates the ulcer to cause the sensation of rush.
I would suggest that you take a course of ppi like omeprazole or pantaprazole, to allow the ulcers to heal, and till then avoid hot foods.
Hope, i have been helpful.
