Anna means food, drava means liquids, the pain (colic) which is associated and aggravates with food and liquids is called anna drava shula.
The pain which begins after the digestion of food, during the process of digestion and also during indigestion and remains constant is called Anna drava shoola, which is said to be incurable.
Anna drava shoola doesn’t get relieved by taking wholesome (pathya) food or unwholesome food (apathy), neither on consuming food nor on not consuming food (starving)

तत् अपि असाध्यं नित्यत्वात् उक्तम् वैध्य विशारदैः॥ (यो.र.शूल चिकित्सा.१)
