206) ANSWER
A) These symptoms are consistent with an ulcer.

RATIONALE
This description of pain is consistent with ulcer pain. The pain is epigastric and is worse when the stomach is empty and is relieved by food. These symptoms are not common with cholelithiasis. Ordinary indigestion does not present with this clinical scenario. Associate pain relieved by food with ulcers.
