Hello! I am a 25 year old woman with asthma and a few allergies (house dust and some types of pollen), but otherwise in good order. However, about two years ago I have started to feel a sharp, oscillating pain that lasts for 15-20 minutes and comes on after a few sips of alcohol. It happens under no other circumstances, but it doesnt happen every time I have a drink. The temperature or type of drink seems to have no effect. I thought it might have something to do with my liver, but I recently had my liver tested during a general check-up, and it was fine. I dont binge drink, nor do I get drunk. However, I have a very high tolerance of alcohol so when I do go out drinking (which is perhaps twice or three times a month) I may drink on average more than others. What should I look into?
Hi. The probable cause of oscillating pain in abdomen after consuming alcohol is suggestive of few things:This can be due to Gastritis, which is increased after an instigating dose of an alcohol. In some cases IBS - Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor.  I would advise you to undergo upper GI endoscopy to get a diagnosis. IF required you can opt for further investigations as suggested by your Surgeon on clinical examination.
