Can someone please try to help?

Hi everyone,

So I have been having some pretty bad stomach problems for a couple of months. It is fairly constant burning in my stomach area, sharp pains around that area and whenever I eat I feel full very quickly and I have a pretty intense pain directly under the center of my ribcage. I belch a lot and I take 3-4 Tums a day, sometimes the Tums help other times they do not. I have also been having a burning sensation lower, around my belly button and lower. I have tried a lot of medications (Pepicd, Zantac, Prilosec, Aciphex and now Nexium). None have really helped that much. I have been on Nexium for about 3 weeks and over the first week I started feeling better, but I guess I leveled off because I am at a point that is a little better than 3 weeks ago but still not very good. I have had pretty much every test, blood work, Upper GI, ultrasound and an endoscopy and they have found nothing. I have never been a big spicy or fatty food eater. I ate those foods but not in large quantities and I have been avoiding all of the foods they suggest to avoid when stomach acid is a problem.  

Basically I need help bad, I hate living with this pain and constant burning and I am really sick of Tums. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks
