Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Unlikely : Can still be something common as irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, GERD or others, you want to see your primary doctor for initial evaluation and possible referral to a gastroenterologist, meanwhile, OTC indigestion remedies and antacids can help, good luck
