Its hard to say rachael. It could be anything from trapped wind to irritable bowel syndrome. Get registered at a surgery and talk to a gp.

I had similar symptoms going back 3 years ago, when I first moved to Spain. I had a stomach bug, but got over it. Then for months afterwards, I'd get abdominal discomfort a couple of hours after eating. At that time, I could not speak much of the lingo and so was reluctant to see a Spanish doctor. In the end, I tried taking some probiotic drinks I bought in Carrefour (Aloe Vera ones I think) and within a week I was cured.

If you've had an upset tummy or diahorrea lately, you're intenstinal flora could be out of sync, and your good bacteria might be in need of reinforcing.

Pregnancy? lactose/wheat intolerence?ulcer? really bad indigestion? You say that it usually happens late morning and afternoon,is there something specific that you eat for breakfast or luch that could be causing this?The doctor should be able to see you straight away seeing that its an emergency,but go,even if the pains gone tomorrow just in case its something serious that might seem ok now but may develop into something life threatening! Good luck and hope its nothing major!

Good luck and keep us posted. Fingers crossed for you. X

you can make an appointment as soon as you have registered but your new GP will not get your patient notes via the family practioner committee for a few weeks and so make sure you give the new GP an update on your previous medical history, though he/she should ask you the right questions anyway i guess.

Are you sure it is in your stomach? It could be heartburn, especialy if you have eaten acidy fruit for breakfast
