Ongoing, chronic abdominal symptoms can be very concerning.  It's always good to get a second opinion, which it sounds like you have done. There are many tests which can help diagnose chronic abdominal pain which you have had done, including blood work (including helicobacter pylori for ulcers), radiographs (xrays and ultrasound and cat scans), and stool studies (white blood cells, cultures, exam for parasites).  Additional tests include endoscopy (fiberoptic exam of stomach and intestines) and another can better examine the gallbladder which is a HIDA scan.  Keep working on it, often exercise and a better diet can help a lot.
