Hello, i'm a 19 year old with a strange problem. Ever since I can remember i've suffered from stomach pains (bad ones), and a wide variety. Dull, sharp, squeezing, painful, burning, active, and I don't know why. It seems most of the time food triggers it.


I had colic when I was a baby, and i'm told that could be a part of it.


A brief history:

these stomach pains seem to come and go in spurts. They can lay off for a week or three, then come for the same amount of time. Often occurring 4 times a week

i went to nanny for a bit and before I left stomach pains were a natural part of my life. Then after I left they seemed to subside. My stomach still got irritated 3 or 4 times.

Now, if it's stress this seems strange to me as my nanny time was one of the most stressful and worrisome times of my life.


When I returned home my stomach pains seemed to return immediately.


My doctor said I had ibs. I tried the diet and so forth and seemed to do well, but did not stop the pain.


I’ve tried many prescriptions.


Then I tried the celiac diet. I still had pains.


Now I am experiencing anxiety and worry. My stomach pains are hard to handle and at times I cannot even eat because any food will upset my stomach. I cannot even drink water well because waters seems to hurt my stomach immensely.


I want some opinions before I go to the doctor, because for every one i've been to they've seemed to wave it off, and no farther help is offered. What can I do?


The pain is scaring me, and i'm losing so much weight and i'm afraid i’ll get to the point of starvation (not by choice).


Any advice would be gladly taken.
