Bad stomach pain

I'm 19, male, and have had this problem for a few years now but it seems to be worsening. Whenever I drink anything in a large quantity *especially something carbonated* it causes me intense stomach pain which comes on slowly and just gets worse and worse, it can last anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. This pain ranges from being only a discomfort to being completely crippling where I don't want to move or even speak. It seems that it has progressed and now I can have a spurt of this pain come on pretty suddenly and fade suddenly *1-3 minutes* during physical exertion. It is not a muscle pain more like a terrible ache...

I can relate. Personally, I tend to get bad stomach pain like that whenever I drink most things, carbonated and alcoholic drinks are my main problem as well. I physically cannot drink even a whole can of pop without feeling sick and pain, and I've been diagnosed with an inflamed stomach lining, and possibly acid reflux disease, which i take meds for now and am feeling much better.Where is the pain, lower or higher stomach, cuz your actual stomach is right under your chest..are you having any nausea? Burning feeling?(Mine i feel in my chest as well as stomach) That was something that really bothered me as well as the pains you described. So I would look into this with your Dr, and try not to eat or drink anything you know irritates you.  Hope this helps,  take care
