Possible Causes

There are many reasons why you could be experiencing this condition, because nausea and back pain are symptoms of many different disorders. The combination in which the symptoms occur and the time span between eating and the sensation of the pain, will help you determine the source of the discomfort.

A disorder in the digestive tract can range from a mild infection, to a full flown disease that will severely limit your movement and your bodily functions.

Lower back pain and nausea are something that can also be attributed to lactose intolerance. This is a condition that arises because the individual is allergic to the lactose that is present in milk products, and this causes a variety of symptoms in the body. This is one of the most common symptoms, and all doctors around the world are well aware of this fact. Another possible culprit can be a material that is obstructing the intestinal passages. This results in a failure for particles to travel freely through the body, and this ultimately results in immense abdominal pain that spreads to the back, and nausea as well.

You could also be suffering due to the presence of kidney stones. This also blocks up vital passages in the body, and the pain in a kidney can easily be mistaken for a back problem. Irritable bowel syndrome is another possible culprit, and this is merely a temporary condition that arises due to the movement of the food in the digestive tract moving too fast or too slowly. If middle back pain occurs in spurts, it can be attributed to this condition. Some other conditions and disorders that leads to these symptoms are celiac disease,acid reflux (also known as gastroesophageal reflux), peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, and diverticulitis.
