This condition might be indicative of a gastric ulcer, or, if less severe, gastritis, or irritation and inflammation of the gastric lining. A gastric ulcer occurs when the mucosal lining of the stomach is eroded away by excess hydrochloric acid. This irritation becomes most prominent when the stomach is empty, which begins to occur within a few hours of a large meal. Eating, or drinking a solution such as milk, which coats the gastric mucosa, may alleviate the symptoms.
