Why does my stomach hurt?!


Question: Why does my stomach hurt?
For about a week my stomach has been hurting randomly. It can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. It's really intense though. When I get it I can't stand straight or talk or do anything for that matter. It happens about 10 times a day. I'm not sexually active, so I'm not pregnant. Every time I get the pain I feel like I'm going to throw up, I'll have to leave class and go to the bathroom.

3 Reasons for Chronic Pain

#1 - Lack of Stomach Acid: That's right a lack of stomach acid is always the problem, rarely do people produce too much and have problems as a result. With a lack of this acid, stomach ulcers are more frequent, bacteria that would otherwise be destroyed on consumed food is allowed to pass through and infect the body such as H.Pylori. As well a lack of acid frequently leads to a condition known as candida overgrowth which I'll discuss in a second.

#2 - Improper Chewing/Too much liquid: When you eat too quickly and fail to chew your food well enough you place extra stress on your stomach to do all the added work. It's even worse if you don't chew your food (ideally until paste like consistency), you suffer from low stomach acid & you drink liquids with your meals which will only dilute your stomach acid further. The solution to which is to stop doing all of these things. Chew your food to a paste, don't drink any more than 1 glass of water over the course of 30 min before a meal and 2 hours afterwards.

#3 - Chronic Candida: This is a yeast that thrives inside anyone with low stomach acid, ironically it can cause a great deal of digestive pain which most people mistake for stomach pain. You see your stomach is actually much higher in your chest, odds are you're feeling pain a little lower in your intestines, this is exactly where candida does all its damage. The list of symptoms it causes is endless, however the most common associated symptom is digestive pain which is caused by the fermentation and growth of the yeast inside your body. If you also experience gas &/or bloating as well then the odds are great that it's candida causing your problems.

The first step is to learn about candida, fill out a quick questionnaire to see if it's the cause of your problems and learn the first thing you need to do in order to eliminate it for good!






by the way, another cause could possibly be stress. you might be suffering ulcers because of this. :( i hope you get better you need to go consult your doctor



Poor you!! It could be becuz you are worried about something as that can make you feel sick or maybe it is just like one of those random tummy bugs that come on and off. If you are worried about it, go and see your GP as they may be able to find the root of the problem! My sister had the same thing but it just went eventually. Hope you feel better soon!



The first thing that I can think of is your diet. Start eating a well balanced and nutritious diet and if your stomach keeps doing this then you should see a doctor.
