An upset stomach is characterized by swelling (inflammation) of the stomach lining and intestines. It is sometimes caused by a virus, although it may also be due to a parasite, or due to bacteria like salmonella or E. coli. In some cases, an upset stomach is the result of an allergic reaction to a certain type of food. It also may be caused by an irritation. Sometimes this happens from consuming too much alcohol or caffeine. Eating too many fatty foods â or too much food in general â may also cause an upset stomach.
Is it Gas or Ulcers? Gas accompanied by severe stomach pain and digestive problems can result from ulcers. Ulcers, which are caused by bacteria, can cause stomach pain (especially pain associated with eating), vomiting, nausea, belching, and indigestion. Ulcers can form in any part of your digestive tract, but most often form in the lining of your stomach, esophagus, or the beginning of your small intestine (the duodenum).
