Muscle spasm: The stomach will produce visceral pain. Because of its close proximity to the body wall it can then produce somatic pain and muscle spasm. Antacids or OTC Prilosec may be helpful for the gastritis. A MAGNESIUM OXIDE supplement may calm the muscle spasm. i would also discuss this with your doctor.
