Gallbladder?: While this is fairly nonspecific, pain in this location could be from gallstones or an inflamed gallbladder. Best to see your primary care provider for a more complete evaluation if its bad enough. Hope this helps!

Maybe: Abdominal pain after eating may be your body telling you to wait a bit. However, there are more serious conditions involving a diversion of blood flow to the intestinal tract after eating which should be evaluated by your physician.
