I am Dr Shamoon. Stomach pain after prolonged fasting can be due to acidity or gastritis, but unbearable pain should not be assumed to be simple gas. The exact location, vomiting, fever and bowel symptoms help decide the cause.
Next Steps
Take small, light meals and fluids rather than a heavy dinner, but avoid painkillers such as ibuprofen on an empty stomach. Seek urgent care today if pain is severe or persistent, or with repeated vomiting, fever, black stools, faintness or a rigid abdomen. You may book a Practo consultation for review.

Kindly start with light and non-spicy meal post starvation. Otherwise it might lead to gastritis.
In your case if you are having persistent pain kindly seek an urgent care, visit nearby emergency department. You might need some PPI or antacids inj.
Next Steps
In case if you are stable,
1. Tab Pan 40 1 tab once daily in empty stomach before breakfast for 7 days
2. Syrup Sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily before food for 7 days
