Sometimes after having a heavy meal I get a stabbing pain on the left side of my tummy. Any idea what it is?

Question

I am more likely to get it when I eat meals with meat dishes than vegetable dishes.

Answer 1

could be your gallbladder. Heavy fatty meals tend to make cholylithiasis worse, go to the docs, it can be life threatening if it gets out of hand.

Answer 2

If preceded by a bout of heavy drinking it could be a mild episode of "acute pancreatitis".
Consult a doctor.

Answer 3

its some sort of digestive disorder, i forget the name for it. my advice to you is to see a doctor. also, dont eat unti you are "stuffed." leave a little room. for whatever reason your body is having trouble digesting food at what was once a normal speed for you.

Answer 4

you don't lay down after you eat you gain weight and don't go to the extreme with food cause your brain says feed me until I can't eat anymore but, you got to learn to tell your body no...
