around 3 weeks ago i was getting headaches on the left side of my head constantly for a week then for the past 4 weeks I’ve experienced light abdominal cramps and stomach pain and what feels like a scraping feeling in my lower left stomach. I feel nauseous when i eat and Ive had some indigestion. I cut out red meat from my diet around 5 months ago & i cut out chicken too last month. I have to admit ive been skipping meals every few days and eating junk food. I also take the combined birth control pill but no other medications. What could this be? I’ve considered pregnancy too but i take my pill on time and ive had my withdrawal bleed.

Could be migraine which can be triggered by many things. Doesn't just cause head pain indeed in children it often manifests as just stomach pains.

You could also be needing glasses if you don't already wear them or haven't had a new prescription in a while.

I'm also veggie but I've not heard of this as a result of quitting meat, though I wouldn't rule it out either as I had an opposite experience of lifelong stomach issues improving as a result of quitting meat. So it could be a sort of "detox" effect?

Also on the veggie side I'm fine eating quorn and soy but some report having issues with these.

Could also be the pill, that can cause clotting issues.

I'd say go to opticians first if that's a possible cause then if/when they clear you pop to Drs/practice nurse

I got new glasses and lenses yesterday and i havent had headaches in a few weeks so i ruled that out as a bug. Maybe im just paranoid

The scraping feeling is one I got when pregnant. Do a test and put your mind at rest
