What Your Belly Pain Is Trying to Tell You: Causes and When to See a Specialist
Understand the Signals Your Stomach Is Sending with Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic
Everyone experiences stomach pain at some point—but did you know that the type, location, and timing of your pain can offer important clues about what’s going on inside your body?
At Elite Gastro and Liver Clinic, we help patients decode their abdominal pain, identify underlying issues, and provide the expert care they need to feel better.
Common Causes of Belly Pain
Your abdomen contains many organs—stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines—so pinpointing the exact cause can be complex. Here are some of the most common culprits:
🔸 Indigestion / Gas
Often causes bloating and discomfort after meals
Triggered by spicy, fatty, or acidic foods
🔸 Gastritis or Acid Reflux
Burning pain, especially after eating
May be accompanied by heartburn or nausea
🔸 Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Crampy pain, bloating, changes in bowel habits (diarrhea/constipation)
Often worsens with stress or certain foods
🔸 Gallstones
Sharp pain in the upper right abdomen, especially after fatty meals
May radiate to the shoulder or back
🔸 Appendicitis
Sudden pain starting near the navel, shifting to the lower right abdomen
Usually requires urgent surgery
🔸 Liver or Pancreas Issues
Dull or sharp pain in the upper abdomen
May come with yellowing of skin/eyes (jaundice), fever, or vomiting
When Should You See a Specialist?
While minor stomach pain may go away on its own, you should consult a gastroenterologist if you experience:
✅ Persistent or worsening pain
✅ Pain with fever, vomiting, or weight loss
✅ Blood in stools or black, tarry stools
✅ Difficulty eating or loss of appetite
✅ Pain that disrupts your sleep or daily life
