General Abdominal Pain Information
Abdominal pain is experienced by nearly everyone at one time or another. The abdomen is the area in the trunk of the body that extends from between the rib cage to the pelvic region. Abdominal pain can be mild or severe, and it can stem from something as simple as overeating to causes as serious as appendicitis and gall bladder disease.

Possible Causes of Abdominal Pain
Determining the exact cause of abdominal pain can be tricky because there are so many aspects to consider. The best thing to do is to examine the symptoms and their severity and seek medical attention if necessary. See the supplements section below for a list of possible ailments that can lead to abdominal pain.

Possible Symptoms and Complications of Abdominal Pain
Symptoms of abdominal pain include cramping and discomfort in the abdominal region, Diarrhea, vomiting and burning in the stomach and esophagus can also occur. The pain can be generalized or localized and can be felt across the abdomen, around the navel, along the upper and lower sides of the stomach and across the rib cage.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain can be prevented by developing regular eating and bowel habits; avoiding chewing gum and carbonated beverages that contribute to swallowing air; avoiding abdominal injuries by always wearing a seat belt whenever driving or riding in a car. Treatment of abdominal pain is determined by whatever it is that is causing the symptoms. Most mild abdominal discomfort can be improved by getting adequate rest; eating smaller, more frequent meals; drinking plenty of fluids; and avoiding high-fat foods. If the pain does not subside within a day or so; worsens and becomes more frequent; is accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, nausea or fever; or if the pain localizes to one specific area of the abdomen, see a doctor.
