Stomach pain

hey all! Not sure if its related but I thought i would get some opinions! Started intermittent fasting on sunday 16/8 and for the last three nights i have developed upper stomach pain. It usually comes in slowly late afternoon and by evening its pretty bad. My food has been healthy and I havnt been eating the same foods so im at a loss. Anyone experience this? Thanks!

Answer

I have this. It could be gastritis. Ask your doctor bc it can be treated with Omeprazole. Fasting and drinking on an empty stomach can worsen it. Also lots of caffeine or spicy food on an empty stomach. Also stress. Tums help me some.

Answer

Could be gas inducing foods? Some vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage etc though healthy can induce gas and cause pain. My bloating reduced a lot when I took care of this by reducing the quantity.
