A: This is an excellent question as most antacid directions will say to take for no longer than two weeks. One of the reasons for this is that there are a multitude of things that can cause abdominal pain, aside from heartburn. Therefore, if your abdominal complaints are still present, despite trying an antacid for two weeks, it's important to seek proper medical attention in order to find out the exact cause of the discomfort. What's more, the intensity of the pain is not necessarily a reflection of the severity of the problem. For example, cancers of the esophagus or stomach may simply present with complaints of increased burping, indigestion, or feeling full soon after starting to eat. Since there are numerous organs in the abdomen, pain can originate from any one of them, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, gallbladder, appendix, liver – and more. In general, it is a good idea to contact your physician if your abdominal discomfort lasts for more than a week, is becoming worse, or is associated with fever or unexplained loss of weight.
