What are the reasons for stomach pain in children after meals?

Patient's question:

What are the reasons for stomach pain after meals in children? Experiencing twisted pain above the navel after every three meals a day. I hope you can inform me of the cause, treatment methods, and dietary precautions. Previous diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: In 2005, I had a stomach X-ray, which showed gastritis. After taking some stomach medicine for a period, the pain stopped.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, gastritis refers to damage to the gastric mucosa caused by various inflammatory factors, which manifests as upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, and belching. The pain pattern follows the sequence of eating - pain - relief. Treatment involves reducing the use of drugs that damage the gastric mucosa, maintaining a regular diet, avoiding excessively cold or hot foods, and spicy or irritating foods. Medications that can be selected include those that protect the gastric mucosa, regulate gastrointestinal motility, antacids, and spasmolytics and analgesics.
