can food cause stomach to hurt
When gas doesn't pass through belching or flatulence, it can build up in the stomach and intestines and lead to bloating. With bloating, you may also have abdominal pain that can vary from mild and dull to sharp and intense. Passing gas or having a bowel movement may relieve the pain. Bloating may be related to: 1  Eating fatty foods, which can delay stomach emptying and make you feel uncomfortably full. 2  Drinking carbonated beverages or eating gassy foods.  Eating too quickly, drinking through a straw, chewing gum or sucking on candies, resulting in swallowing air.
