Stomach pain does not mean that there must be a disease when hungry. It may be a normal physiological phenomenon, but it may also be related to gastritis, duodenal ulcer and other diseases.
1. Physiological phenomenon
If the recent insufficient intake of food causes gastric acid to continuously stimulate the local gastric mucosa, it will stimulate the sympathetic nerve

. It is a
normal physiological reaction and can be relieved after eating.
