Stomach Tenderness

[OnlySunshine]

For the past few days, I've been having umbilical tenderness and aching.  So much so, that it sometimes hurts to get up from a sitting position.  I thought it was stomach or intestinal cramping from an accidental gluten ingestion and I took some Pepcid which usually clears it up.  However, that hasn't happened and it has persisted.  The weird thing is that it is somewhat relieved when I eat something but it's hard for me to get up the appetite to eat while it's sore.  I'm not really sure what's causing this.  Please pray it resolves soon.

 

After doing some research, I discovered that I might have a peptic ulcer.  Ulcers usually resolve temporarily after eating and produce a gnawing or burning sensation.  If it doesn't resolve soon, I'm going to have to see a doctor.
