Common Causes of Abdominal Pain

Abdominal pain can stem from various factors, ranging from simple digestive issues to more complex medical conditions. Common causes include:

Digestive Disorders: Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and acid reflux (GERD) can cause persistent pain and discomfort.
Infections: Viral or bacterial infections, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning, may result in sharp or cramping pain.
Chronic Illnesses: Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and diverticulitis are long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract.
Gallbladder Issues: Problems such as gallstones or cholecystitis may cause severe, sharp pain.
Kidney Stones: Sharp, intense pain on one side of the abdomen or back could indicate the presence of kidney stones.
Inflammation: Conditions like appendicitis and pancreatitis can lead to sudden, acute abdominal pain.
Food Sensitivities: Food allergies or intolerances, such as lactose intolerance or celiac disease, may lead to pain and bloating.
Medications: Certain medications, like NSAIDs, can contribute to digestive discomfort or ulcers.

When Should You See a GI Specialist?

While some abdominal pain may resolve on its own, certain symptoms should prompt you to seek medical care. These include:

Persistent or worsening pain
Pain that radiates to other parts of the body
Blood in your stool or vomit

Fever or chills

If you experience any of these symptoms, our specialists at AZ Gastro Care are ready to help you find relief.
