@jemRun when does this pain come in relation to meals? Before or after?

After meals but I takes hours before it happens.

When do you feel the discomfort? If it's a few hours after eating, it may be hunger... But I'm going to assume that you know what being hungry feels like. You'd feel hungry, then really hungry, then get hunger pangs.

I wouldn't make that assumption. I suspect there are people who have never felt hunger.

Chances are it is just simply hunger.

What is the longest you have gone between eating before?

Stomach acid building up with fewer meals or snacks is my first guess. Take an actual antacid in its suggested dose and see if it helps. If so, make sure to eat more often or drink a little milk as a small snack, etc.

If you have baking soda around, an easy test is whether 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon mixed in a small cup of warm water helps. Then you don't have to buy antacid if acid's not the problem. Don't keep that up, though, because it's too salty for normal use.

Have you changed your diet in addition to monitoring calories? It is possible that a change of diet has exposed your body to a food intolerance you were unaware of. I'd recommend logging the pain as well as calories. Check for any correlation between the food you eat and the pain you experience. You can then take this to the doctor if you decide to investigate further.

Also, has your doctor ever mentioned IBS? Or could it be constipation from not enough fiber?
