Hungry stomachache. What is it?

Stomachache due to hunger may be related to chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer, gastrinoma and other factors.

1. Chronic gastritis

Chronic gastritis secretes inflammatory factors, causing gastric mucosa to be in a state of congestion and swelling. When patients are hungry, there is no food in the stomach. When the stomach wall moves, it will rub against each other, causing stomachache.

2. Duodenal ulcer

Duodenal ulcer typical symptoms are upper abdominal pain on an empty stomach, because there is no food in the stomach when the human body is hungry. Gastric acid can continue to stimulate the ulcer site, causing stomachache.

3. Gastrinoma

Gastrinoma secretes a large amount of gastrin to promote gastric acid secretion. When the human body is hungry, there is no food to neutralize gastric acid. A large amount of gastric acid can stimulate gastric mucosa and cause stomachache.
