Different types of stomach ache

Almost everybody experiences a stomach ache at some point in life. In most cases, abdominal discomfort is not serious and develops as a result of overeating, gas, or indigestion.

There are many different types of stomach pain, often described by what the pain feels like and its location. Stomach pain may be the result of any number of medical conditions, which can range from completely harmless to quite serious.

Some of the types of stomach pain originating in different locations are as follows:

• Stomach acid irritates the esophagus lining (gastroesophageal reflux disorder [GERD])
• Stomach inflammation
• Stomach ulcer
• Inflammation of the bile sac
• Inflammation of the pancreas
• Right lower abdominal pain
• Inflammation of the appendix
• Period pain
• Endometriosis (inflammation of the womb lining)
• Cystitis (inflammation of the urine pouch)

Causes of the stomach ache

Most causes are temporary and not serious. They may have to do with digestion, menstruation or a passing virus. For example, stomach pain after eating may be due to overeating, indigestion, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or food poisoning.

How do you relieve abdominal pain?

Stomach pain has a wide variety of causes and treatments. If you don’t know what’s causing your abdominal pain, it’s important to find out, especially if it doesn’t go away on its own. However, if you have a pretty good idea that your stomach ache is related to digestion, you can begin by treating yourself with:

• Bowel rest: Stop eating, or only eat easy-to-digest foods like crackers or bananas.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water or a hydration formula.
• Heat therapy: Try a warm water bottle or a soak in the bath.
• Home remedies: [GA1] Home remedies such as ginger water of peppermint tea are very effective in relieving the pain.

Sometimes, you may be trying everything to relieve abdominal pain but it still persists. Gas-O-Fast is a good and effective solution for the same. Its Ayurvedic formula ensures it is safe for your health and the age old science brings sureshot results. 

It is also important to note that what feels like a stomachache may be coming from another organ in your abdomen, or from outside of your digestive system. Always seek medical care if your abdominal pain is unexplained, persistent or severe.
