Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
This happen to me when I wasn't able to nor did I want to eat for a while (3 days for me) because I knew if I ate I would be sick but it was partially my own fault because of the big get together with my cousin and letting him pour my drinks and a few becoming many and before I knew it we had gone through a large bottle of gin each (and I hadn't even eaten that day).
The thing is if you continue not to eat your stomach will just hurt more because there's no food there for it and it needs food to convert to energy for you to keep going (just like a car needs fuel). I would suggest trying something little in a small quantity at first. Maybe some toast and see how you fare with that. Once you actually get some food inside you your stomach may loosen up a little bit so you can start to eat normally.
On a side note I would also not hesitate to go visit or call up the family doctor for advice since he/she would be in a better position to advise you on this than I. I didn't because I knew why it was happening to me and what I was doing (if I had eaten anything prior to when I had then I would have ended throwing it up and rest assured I learnt my lesson from that experience but in my defence that was the first and only time I've ever been totally wasted). With you it may not even be the same thing and could be something else so just to be on the safe side seeking medical advice from your doctor wouldn't hurt.
Hope you manage to eat soon.

I'm not exactly sure why this was caused, but it sounds like your stomach is shrinking for some reason. As much as it may hurt, you need to eat small amounts of food all throughout the day if you can, so your stomach will expand a little, so you'll be able to eat normally again.
Just please make sure you actually eat, you definitely don't want an IV hooked up to your arm for nutrition.
