An x-ray to rule out ruptured ulcer is a must2) Gall stone: Associated with flatulence as well but may present with the above-mentioned symptoms. A simple USG of the gallbladder will suffice3) Pancreatic pain: Also increases on diet and is generally very severe in nature. May radiate to the back as well and may decrease on crouching forward, although this is not a rulePancreatic profile with serum lipase and amylase is suggestedOther rare possibilities 1 Myocardial infarction2 Aortic aneurysm3)pleural pain4 lumbar stenosis/spondylosis
