Been 9 days sober and I have been feeling some stomach aches, they come mostly after eating or drinking something, is this normal or could be a signal for something else?

Thanks in advance.

Best getting checked out Phil by a Dr, it could be a number of things, best to be safe!!

Not sure, possibly. I didn't have stomach aches though

It could be both - but we can't diagnose health issues here - please see a doc if it's a concern. Drinking can cause serious damage to your entire GI tract over time.

Best to see a doctor as others have said but for me it happens when I change my diet.Hav you been trying to eat healthier or eating fatty foods?Thats just my experience :-)

Could be anything really Phil...I hope you'll see a Dr if you're concerned - it's the best way to go

I would get stomach pains and nausea every time i ate up to about day 12.

Well done on getting to 9 days

I would get it checked out by the dr just to make sure.
I get a lot of stomach pains - especially when I quit. (and have been hospitalised twice due to stomach / gastric issues) this was all due to booze. I had inflamed my oesophagus so badly that food was sticking on the way down & had no lining left on my stomach. Everytime I ate or drank something - it was hell on the oesophagus - them when it did eventually reach my stomach I was in agony. I was prescribed Lanzoprazole and was told that the gastric functions can take weeks if not months to heal if they've been irritated & inflamed (as bad as mine was) with alcohol.
Safe to say though - at the time, although I got a scare, it didn't stop me ..... just took an extra Lanzoprazole & swallowed a load of Gaviscon !!!!

I'm on day 4 and having stomach aches - but I know it's a time game until it heals.....
But like I say - I would get it checked out...

I had really bad stomach problems when I was drinking. It took a couple months for it to go away. Now nothing.

I always had bad reflux and beer especially would give me diarrhea. I think drinking can give you leaky gut syndrome.
