Most likely not: Possible due to increased acid secretion in the stomach. Viral gastroenteritis would also cause diarrhea or abdomen cramping pain. If otc medication such as maalox, mintox and Prilosec otc did not help after few days - 1 week, please see your physician. There is a bacteria called h. Pylori which can cause inflammation of the stomach and small intestine. Not treated, it could also cause cancer.

For the past year now every time I eat I immediately have lots of gas pain, I think it has to do with to much acid in my stomach or something like that but Im not to sure. Im never able to fart any gas out, sometimes I can burp but it never helps. ?
