Stomach pain after eating following extreme hunger may result from excessive gastric acid secretion due to prolonged fasting, thereby irritating the gastric mucosa. It may also stem from indigestion or, alternatively, be triggered by irritation from certain foods. If stomach pain is severe, consult a qualified physician at a reputable local hospital for evaluation and treatment. Additionally, maintain healthy daily eating habits—consume three balanced meals per day at regular times and in appropriate portions—and avoid overeating or binge eating.
