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
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fever or chills

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