According to Bright Side, here's what you need to know about the causes of stomach pain in different locations:

1. Pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen: Heartburn

Heartburn (acid reflux) causes a burning sensation in the lower chest and upper abdomen. You may also feel a burning sensation in your throat, sometimes with a strange sour taste.

Causes: Consuming spicy, greasy foods, raw onions, chocolate, citrus fruits, coffee and caffeinated drinks.

Solution: Don't overeat. Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day, instead of 2 to 3 large meals. Also, wear loose clothing to avoid putting pressure on your abdomen and quit smoking.

2. Cramps and Diarrhea: Gastritis

If you experience sharp pains and cramps in your abdomen, watery diarrhea (usually without blood), nausea, vomiting, occasional muscle aches or headaches and a low-grade fever, it could indicate gastritis.

Causes: You can get gastritis by eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water or sharing utensils, towels, and personal items with someone who has the disease.

Solution: Get vaccinated, wash your hands before eating, make sure everyone in the house uses their own utensils, and disinfect hard surfaces.

3. Severe pain in the upper abdomen: Ulcers

Ulcers can cause sharp pain in the upper abdomen and belly. Ulcers appear when the lining of your stomach is damaged or is caused by strong painkillers. Other symptoms of ulcers include: changes in appetite, nausea, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and chest pain.

Causes: Regular use of aspirin, ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory drugs can irritate the stomach and cause ulcers.

Solution: To prevent ulcers, you should also limit the use of pain relievers and wash your hands before eating. A healthy diet is important. You should include whole grains, mix them with fruits or vegetables, and quit smoking.

4. Dull abdominal pain: Excess gas in the abdomen

If you feel a dull pain in the upper stomach or abdomen and feel bloated, you may have excess gas in your body. You may also experience other symptoms such as intermittent pain and swelling in the stomach or feeling like something is moving in the stomach and burping or passing gas.

Causes: Eating quickly and swallowing quickly can cause this feeling. Carbonated drinks, beer, dairy products and beans tend to accumulate a lot of gas in the stomach.

Solution: You should consume less of the foods listed above. You can quickly fix the problem by using peppermint lozenges.

5. Cramps and bloating: Irritable Bowel Syndrome

If your digestive system is sensitive, you may feel cramps and bloating in the abdomen and cause Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In this case, 2 results can occur. Your digestive system will start working very quickly and lead to diarrhea, or things will slow down and cause constipation.

Causes: The cause of IBS is still unknown, but it is believed that it may occur due to a certain combination of abnormal movements of the digestive tract. A disruption in the communication between the brain and the digestive tract is also one of the factors that cause this problem.

Solution: In this case, you should review the foods you consume. See which foods your body is sensitive to and reduce your tolerance to them.

6. Mild pain and indigestion: Lactose intolerance

Stomach pain and bloating are some of the common symptoms that indicate that you are lactose intolerant. This can cause diarrhea, bloating or constipation. Some other symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, loss of concentration, muscle and joint pain, mouth ulcers and difficulty urinating.

Cause: Lactose intolerance is usually caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase in the intestines. It breaks lactose down into two smaller sugars (glucose and galactose) and allows the lactose to be absorbed from the intestines.

Solution: You should follow a lactose-free diet. However, to ensure that you don't miss out on calcium and other beneficial nutrients from dairy, try eating more products like broccoli, kale, tuna, salmon, and calcium-fortified products like soy milk.
