Question 1

recently have had stomach discomfort along with some diarhea. and stomach pain after eating large meal

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: If this has come on recently, it could be a viral illness that's causing the stomach discomfort along with diarrhea.  These usually last for about a week and get better on their own.  I'd see your doctor if you're having fevers > 3 days, increasing pain, bloody diarrhea, severe nausea or vomiting, or this isn't improving after about a week. Hope you feel better soon!

Question 2

what causes a needle-like pain coming in waves in the stomach area for a few hours usually only after eating either very fast or a heavy meal?

Accepted Answer

GERD?: Sounds like fairly classic gastroesophageal reflux disease.  May be related to specific foods.  Talk to your pcp about it.

Question 3

is it normal to feel the digestion process in our stomach/intestines after eating a meal and lying down? i usually feel this warm feeling under my belly button after eating a decent sized meal. is this a concern or is this normal?

Accepted Answer

: You did not describe what you feel. One can not feel the digestive process.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 4

i've had a lump on the left side of my lower abdomen which is not visible when i'm lying down. it hurt particularly after a large meal.

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Many people don't realize they're constipated &amp;have enough stool accumulate in the rectum &amp;colon that it can be felt or even seen if the person is thin enough. After eating, the colon tries to empty itself, &amp;when the colon tries to squeeze a large amount of stool it can be painful. Of course the only way to know for sure is to have a medical exam, but you might try an enema and laxatives first.

Question 5

had a bowl of beans meal with chopped onions and garlic. soon after eating it started feeling a little pain in left side of lower abdomen near kidney.woke up at night the whole back hurts and moving hurts a lot. what could that be?

Accepted Answer

: "Chopped onions and garlic" can cause colon discomfort as the ingredients can stimulate more rapid passage of food.  If the discomfort continues, see your physician for an exam and referral if necessary.

Question 6

pulsating in my left upper abdomen. not in the rythm of the heartbeat and happens quite frequently. it has nothing to do with the timing of my meals.!

Accepted Answer

There are a number: of different potential sources for the sensation you are experiencing including GI, vascular, musculoskeletal and nervous. At your age this is unlikely to represent anything potentially dangerous but if it is bothering you a lot you should see a health care provider and get checked out.

Accepted Answer

Cardiac/GI: At your age if you have cardiac risk factor/heart disease, you should get checked. If not and your are in good health.....try laxative/peptobismol/ Antacid.

Question 8

my stomach/abdomen itches after eating almost every meal.i have a large scar there but its 20 years old.no itching anywhere else.why could this be?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: Given your medical history a few things could be causing your problem.  It's best to be seen by a doctor especially given your history of pancreatitis.

Question 9

after eating large meal how many hours later can i swim?

Accepted Answer

: You can go in the water immediately. If you plan on doing intense aerobic exercise in the water (such as swimming continuous laps, playing waterpolo or scuba diving greater than 30 ft) you should wait 30 minutes.

Question 10

after eating a large meal, my blood pressure goes way up. is it normal to see a big jump after a big meal? 118/78 pre-meal to 139/85 post-meal.

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure : When checking blood pressure properly in the clinic a person should be sitting, resting, with their feet on the floor, in a quiet room for five minutes, and not eating or smoking at least 30 minutes.  Blood pressure changes easily from several stimulants. One of the best way or evaluating blood pressure is an ambulatory blood pressure reading that also checks blood pressures when sleeping.
