what is causing tender upper center stomach pain?

hi im 25 years old female. the last five years iv had severe upper center stomach pains. above navel. just a lil pressure hurts really bad when you touch it. i do have bright red bloody stools which are becoming more often. when my stomach acts up it bloats really big looks like im ten months pregnant and its very painful. i burp a lot but it doesnt help any when i burp and it doesnt burn like heartburn. my stomach is always turning any time of the day. late at night and after meals it turns more. im exhausted and am always tired. i cant afford a gi docotor and regular doctors dont know what the prob is. i went to the er the other night because i was in so much pain they did a test and it was positive for hidden blood. they also did a catscan all my organs are fine. i know i have something wrong but could it be ulcers? do ulcers cause this much pain? or crohns im not sure? ohh also when i have xrays done i always have gasteritous always. the last month iv had a low grade fever that wont go away. my white blood cells were just slightly elevated. any help or at least rule something out? dont drink i do smoke not on any medication. was prescribed prilosac but it didnt help so i quit taking after a few months of using it.
