I have been having stomach pains and
cramping every morning and periodically
throughout the day. Every time I eat, the
pains become worse, so I can't really eat
that much without being in pain.
Help?!

Stomach pain, mostly in the morning, that
becomes worse after eating, is very
indicative of a stomach disorder like
gastritis or a peptic ulcer. You have a
Helicobacter pillory serology performed.
If the result is positive and symptoms
last a lot longer than a month you can
start with therapy for eradication and a
proton pump inhibitor. If the pain is
intolerant or lasts longer than a month
you can request an upper endoscopy
(gastroscopy).
You should consult your primary health
provider first.
