General Medical Question - Urgent - Eating= Pain? *NOT ED related*

[-Shae-Lynn*]

For the last couple days, when ever I eat anything my stomach really hurts. I have been drinking a lot of water, and going pee a lot, but not the *other* one. Well I have, but it hasn't been a lot at all. I also get really gassy. It's started again now, and I haven't eaten anything :S

Does anyone know what this could be? Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!!

It probably is just a gas build up in your bowels, that can hurt a lot. If you get it quite a lot it is probably worth going to you doctors as they may prescribe you some tablets to either help with the pain or reduce the spasms in your gut when it happens. If it doesn't happen very often then that's probably not worth it. If it worsens/doesn't stop in the next day or 2 then you might want to go to the doctors.

Do it hurt when you go to pee? Is the pain around your pelvis radiating to your back? I think as you're drinking and peeing a lot that that may be a urinary tract infection (water infection). It is worth getting these sorted out as they can spread to your kidneys which can be VERY hard to clear up once your kidneys are involved, can be very painful and do quite a bit of damage. Depending where the pain is that could be the source but from what you've said about your bowels I'm suspicious that that is the source.

Have you been feeling well apart from these symptoms?
