Q: Mid back pain after eating
asked by: Banell on May 7th, 2008

I am having recurring mid back pain after I eat this started about a week ago.

I had this problem for 5 years prior and in Dec 2006 I had my gall bladder removed in an open choly procedure due to stone blocking my bile duct.

This pain feels exactly the same which is odd to me since my gall bladder is already removed and I haven't had any other pain since the surgery.

mid back pain afer eating
Oh, sorry to tell you this, but I have this problem occasionally after eating greasy foods, or drinking certain alcohol, sodas. I did alot of investigating and am pretty sure my condition is Sphinctor of Oddi. This is where the gallbladder duct spasms for some reason causing "gallbladder pain" without a gallbladder. I rarely have it now because I know what to avoid, but it is still a trial and error with some things. I would be doubled over in pain for hours until it eventually subsided.

pain in the back area after eating
I like you have this same problem I do not have it for a long period of time after or sometimes during i feel like the food is almost traveling down my spine. It is very painful and i feel like i almost have to stretch my back out in order to help the pain! I have looked everywhere for answers but have never had any help. I noticed though that when i have heavy food like carbs i get it alot more frequently! Anyone having this issue or have any answers for me?

Sphincter of Oddi
Sorry to burst your bubble but the Sphincter of Oddi is not a condition, its the duct where the bile is released. Fortunately, all humans have it:) Check the anatomy, it's really interesting.

Back pain in the middle of my back after eating
Hello all

Thank you for your comments, I feel so relieved to know that I am not alone! I have had people laughing at me thinking, how by eating could this sort of pain ever occur!
My pain is particularly evident after eating roughage, like potato, nuts and seeds.
I feel like i've been punched in the small of my back, just below my shoulder blades and it takes quite a while to subside.
Well if anyone knows a cure please let me know, or is it just a case of avoidance? Surprised(
