Increased discomfort after eating and stomach disorders Posted: 05-02-08 10:51am
What could be causing this discomfort
which is becoming chronic? MD says not
likely to be related to AAA. Colon exam
normal. Have had GERD in past, this is
definitely not the same. No indigestion,
no nausea. I am afraid to eat much of
anything due to increased discomfort after
eating. I have no increased gas, actually
less gas. Would appreciate any help. Thank
you

Stomach, Ulcers, Gastric Bypass, and Colon Disorders Answer A Posted: 05-08-08 22:30pm
Increased discomfort after eating could be
due to a stomach disorder like gastritis
or peptic ulcer. A gastroscopy to
evaluate the stomach may need to be done.
A blood test for Helicobacter pillory is
also required because infection with this
bacterium is usually connected with
chronic gastritis. An abdominal aortal
aneurism (AAA) is a serious condition and
its treatment has priority above stomach
examinations. That cyst on the pancreas
could indicate chronic pancreatitis which
can be also manifested with abdominal
discomfort.
You may want to consult a
gastroenterologist about this.
