If : If you are experiencing sharp pains in your stomach after eating you should be evaluated by your doctor right away. Stomach pain or cramps can mean many different things. You may be dealing with a stomach ulcer, gastritis, lactose intolerance, food allergy, irritable bowel , amongst many other things. You can expect your doctor to perform blood, urine, and stool tests depending on the exact nature of your problem. Remember this is not normal and should be investigated and treated right away. Good luck!

Cramps: Postprandial abdominal cramping may be due to food intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal adhesions(if one had previous surgery), abdominal hernia, or laxative type reactions to a medication. A gastroenterologist could evaluate and advise you. Referral to an abdominal surgeon could be made if deemed advisable after the evaluation. Antispasmodics help irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.
