Pain after eating

My 15 year old daughter has been DIY with chronic fatigue syndrome and possible endometriosis so she has lots of different symptoms and is in pain most days. Over the last few weeks every time she eats anything she gets bad pain in her upper abdomen on each side has anyone had this? It doesn't matter what she eats the pain is the same.

I AM NOT A MEDIC (and even a medic couldn’t diagnose on here) but I do have CFS. Given you’ve said it’s anything she eats, which I guess means not coeliacs, then other things to consider:

  • h. pylori
  • low stomach acid
  • SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
  • other gut issues.
All the above can be quite common with CFS, in my anecdotal experience. Sending well wishes to her - that all sounds tough.
