ABDOMINAL PAIN: Most people will describe pain in any part of abdomen as stomach pain, it is what many patients say
but in medical terms it is pain in the stomach which is located in middle of upper abdomen, so real stomach pain is the pain localised in anatomic stomach.

Many: It could be food sensitivity, allergies, lactose intolerance (dairy problem) too much food, gas, blockage of some sort, malabsorption, type of food, etc. Keep a food journal and see if you can identify if a particular type of food is the problem. Could be a gallbladder, liver, or pancreas problem as well. Best to have it evaluated by a physician.
