Stomach cramps and pain after dinner?

I ate ham, scalloped potatoes, and baked beans for dinner. Now my stomach hurts around my love handles.

    You're most likely having a reaction to the beans &/or dairy in the scalloped potatoes. And you may have just eaten too much in general.

    Beans are very fiber rich which can cause gas bubbles and bloating. It will subside but you will experience pain for a little while. You can drink chamomile tea or peppermint tea to try and help calm the pains a little bit and then at least 3 hours after eating you can lay down to sleep.

    Dairy is also a known stomach pain causer. Again you can drink the teas listed above to help sooth the pain a little bit.

    If you're truly concerned tomorrow, you can try an elimination diet. Try not eating beans for a week or two and see if you experience any pain.... Add the beans back one day and then take note on how you feel, no reaction? Then it's not the beans! (Same goes for the dairy!)
