Lower Back Pain After Eating Posted: 07-08-04 15:08pm
Hello there,
i`m a 24 year old male and recently I have
been experiencing pain on the lower left
hand side of my back immediately after
eating a meal, i`ve searched the internet
for similar problems but I seem to be
alone in this, does anybody have any ideas
as to what this could be? Also, it seems
relative to the size of meal I have, i.E
if i`m having a takeaway its worse than if
i`m just having a snack.
I`d appreciate any advice you guys have to
give.
Thanks alot

I will suggest that your pain is a warning
signal to take better care of your back.
Within 3 months of my own similar
warnings, I have a slipped disc.
In front of computer too much lately?,
your mattress too soft?, adverse change in
lifestlye?
Please exercise more, take care of your
posture, sleep better.

I Also Have Back Pain From Eating Posted: 01-20-05 11:05am
I wish I had more information, but I have
been battling this back pain after I eat
for years. And no doctor knows why. I
find it is when I eat heavy and greasy
foods, especially after 7 or 8 pm. If I
eat anything late at night I might as well
right off the next day. I have found that
an anti-inflammatory, such as naproxen
helps the pain. I also find eating
healthy and excercising helps. Easier
said then done. Keep me posted if you
have found anything that helps.

this almost seems to be a cut and dry gall
bladder case. Have they looked at your
gall bladder function or possibly your
kidney/digestive function. The back seems
the obvious since you are the one in pain
but because this is food related, it takes
my attention away from the back and puts
me most on the trail to your gall bladder.

I have same problem... Every time I eat
(except very small meal) it hurts in my
back and I feel so bad for 2 hours at
least! I had a gall bladder echography
with nothing, and a barium x ray with
nothing much. Was diagnosed with
functional dyspepsia, but it does not help
me... My condition is getting worst.
Anybody can help?

Food-related Back Pain Posted: 09-30-07 07:51am
I am not a doctor, and feel nervous about
offering advice to someone who might have
a problem that runs deeper than my own.
That being said, I have have experienced
lower back pain after eating for years.
Someone passed on a book dedicated to this
very subject, and hypothesizing that it
was some sort of allergy. I don't really
know what to make of that analysis, but
the book recommended keeping careful tabs
on what you eat and how it affects your
back. For me, the worst culprit was
refined sugar--my back seems to react to
it within an hour. If I control my sugar
intake, my back is fine.

I've just been noticing that I have the
same problem. Since me & my BF got
together I've started cooking (not super
healthy meals, but much healthier than
fast foods) & he doesn't eat pork so I
pretty much don't anymore. But one time we
ordered a half & half pizza & I
got pepperoni on mine...the next day I had
diarrhea ALL DAY & uncomfortable back
pains that I can't remember ever
experiencing. A few weeks later I had a
small frozen pizza that was pretty greasy,
same thing. At first, I thought it may
have been the pork, but today I just ate
some frozen fried chicken that had a TON
of grease in it & now I'm experiencing
those SAME back pains. I can't figure out
what it's directly connected to but I'm
pretty sure it's my body telling me that
all of this grease is not good for my body

If you are also constipated it may be that
things a blocking up down there putting
pressure on nerves, blood flow and
muscles. What does the pain feel like?
How regular do you have number 2's?
try massage your stomach in a clockwise
direction from naval outward then outward
back in to the naval as one round. Do this
for 21 rounds with light pressure and
slowly. after that press deeply in and
around the lower abdomen and look for sore
areas. when you find one stop there and
hold the pressure and breathe softly
through the nose concentrating on the pain
until it subsides. Once it does look for
more sore points until all have gone. do
this daily and see if it helps.
You could also stretch your hamstrings as
that will always help with back pain.
Jedd.

BACK PAIN AFTER EATING - LOWER BACK Posted: 03-02-08 11:01am
I suffered this actue lower back pain
after eating about a year ago. Now I've
had a Lymphoma diagnosed in exactly that
area, about 11 cms, so it's been growing
for a while. I don't know if there is any
connection . . .
Gall bladder is more likely to cause upper
back pain, between the shoulder blades. I
know, I've had it . .

food related back pain Posted: 03-13-08 05:24am
I am 23 years old and i too have similar
symptoms. i have had moderate back pain
since i was 13 and its not from lack of
exercise i was decent shape but still the
symptoms persisted. Although i have
noticed that as i get a little older and
less active the pain does seem to be
getting slightly worse. But anyway, i too
notice that if i eat a meal my back
doubles sometimes triples in the amount of
pain experienced. i have had every kind of
test imaginable, (to no avail) i have had
every prognosis from a bulging disk to
sciatica. although the doctors all seem
say the same thing "the conditions aren't
severe enough to justify the amount of
pain I'm in" its getting RATHER
frustrating and I'm really beginning to
wonder what I'm going to do. this pain is
unbearable and i can't live a normal life
with it. I told them of this and they all
looked at me like I'm nuts. i was starting
to think that i was the only one with
these symptoms. But anyway if any of you
find out what is causing your pain please
post it here so that i can maybe get a
better idea of what might be wrong with
me.

Only doctors can tell you what really can
cause this pain. Meanwhile I would highly
recommend using Acupressure Mat (Tibetan
Applicator) which helps miraculously.

lower back after eating Posted: 06-11-08 11:17am
i have experienced this pain for a number
of years especially after heart
surgery.one of my doctors did allergy
testing and found the following. wheat,
gluten sugar pork food adatives dairy and
eggs certain nuts.plus a number of other
minor foods. staying away from these has
helped but not to a great degree. stress
plays a part especially if you don't
exercise. i only drink water now and this
helps. the other day someone on the radio
stated that lower back pain had a lot to
do with a lack of O2 in the system. now
when i experience severe pain i take
myself outside and start breathing deeply
for a short period and this really helps.
i thought at first it was a fluke but
repeated testing has shown it to help in
my case. you must breathe with the stomach
and not the torso for best results . give
it a try and post your experiences.
