Your bowels can only feel pain from two sources, either a puncture or tear or hole in the intestinal tissue, or distension, which is the pain you feel from gas, or over eating where your intestines are distended, or stretched to the max. The stomach itself is the same. Ulcerated stomachs feel pain from the hole in them, and distended stomachs feel pain from being stretched to the max.

the mind and the gut are connected. the brain sends signals to the gut so when your mind is nervous your stomach becomes the same way. Medical doctors found this out with patients with IBS most forms of IBS come from nervous thoughts of the patient. Calm your mind and the stomach will calm down.

if your under stress it could be a stomach knot, yes that's a real thing, but it more so feels like your stomach is really tight inside and a bit crampy. You might just have a 24 hour stomach bug. Take the day off of school hang out and watch movies, you'll feel better soon :) or have your parents make you a doctors appointment sounds to me though you just need a day to hang out and get some rest.

You may have a peptic stomach ulcer, I do and I have pain when I eat and drink most of the time, you should go see your doctor and see if there are any medications you could be on to ease the symptoms. And having a stomach ulcer isn't serious, I just had to change a few things that I ate, like cutting back on spicey foods and sodas.\n\nGood Luck, Hope you're feeling better soon.

I had attacks for years that I thought were gas.  Finally, I had a really bad attack.  I had severe pain on the right side of my chest, abdomen and back.  I felt like I had to breathe very shallow because any movement was excruciating.  I had terrible heartburn and vomited bile.

First what are you going thourgh at this time? are you under a lot of stress and tension that alone can put your stomach in a tailspin.\n\nSecond what are you eating a lot of fat salt dairy if eaten alot can cause heartburn, direrrah, and just makes you feel sick.\n\nThird have you gone to a dr and get some feeback on why your stomach is so sick. Try to relax and not get so upset if that is the case, worry causes harm and it is not good.\nA nice cup of hot tea, soft music, a good nap. comforting scrpiture Psalm 23 for example, deep breathing all these things can help your stomach not "be in knots" I know from past experince and please feel better.

I believe you already know the culprit. Stress can do some weird sometimes inexplicable, things to our bodies. Our stomach and bowels are not immune to this. It can produce painful flactuance and cramping among other symptoms. Next time try laying on your belly (if able to do so) or rubbing stomach area in a circular motion, if the pain nasuea and dizzyness persist, tell your doctor right away. Of course do what ever it takes to reduce your stress level. Eat a healthy diet, drink enough water, get enough sleep and exercise. If you are able to, go get a relaxation massage, many spa's offer delightful essential oils, and this treatment can be so beneficial to the mind and body. Take care of yourself, GOOD LUCK.

stomach ulser is something whihc happens when the acidity level of the stomach goes very high . Acid in stomach helps in digestion of food , so there is a normal generation of acid in our stomach , when the food is not given to the stomach , these acid accumulates , as the acid level goes high , it starts hurting the intestine wall. so after some days , when you dont take the food at proper time , these acid causes stomach pains which become unbearable. This is the cause for ulser.

Gastro-esophageal reflux, more commonly known as heart burn, which happens when contents of the stomach rise up in the throat causing a burning sensation and difficulty swallowing.\n\nGastric or duodenal ulcers which affect the surface of the digestive tract causing pain and bleeding.\n\nMotility problems which occur when the stomach has difficulty emptying itself which causes nausea and vomiting and can lead to reflux.\n\nThese problems resemble each other and cause similar symptoms: pain, nausea, regurgitation, gas, loss of appetite and weight. They can, however, be distinguished from one another by the time of their onset, their exact location, their frequency, etc. So it's important to be as precise as possible when describing symptoms to your doctor.

Peristaltic contractions, which are the normal intestinal muscle contractions you body uses to move food from the mouth to the anus.  Having a stomach ache could mean you have inflamed your stomach for some reason (bacteria, virus, intolerance), in which case your body is abnormally attuned to this spot.  If there was any swelling, the contractions might be visible, since the musclelies on top of and around the intestines and stomach.  I would recommend warm liquids (chicken broth or decaffeinated tea would be good) to soothe the stomach and decrease swelling.
