GALLBLADDER, ULCER?

I have had what feels like chest pain through to my back for over a month now; with series of stomach spasms, diarrhea, and nausea.  The chest/stomach pain is always worse after a meal; much worse with fatty, spicy, or ruffage food items.
I have had and ultrasound, CT, EGD, and pipda scan.  All tests showed no abnormalities and the scan showed 60% ejection fraction.  I feel that my physician(s) are not taking my pain seriously because nothing is showing up with testing.  The chest/stomach pain is a constant ache and I am beginning to get very discouraged that they are not going to find out what is wrong.
What are some possibilities that could be causing this?

I feel I may have to eventually make the same sort of demand.
I have all the symptoms of a spastic gallbladder, even elevated billirubin(sp) count in my labwork.
My ordeal started with an ER visit also.  They gave me a shot of demerol and said I had the stomach flu and sent me home.  That was a month ago now and they are still trying to see what the problem is.  I am miserable and just getting sick of waiting.

Your right your dr might not be taking your symptoms seriously. I had my Gb out after an e.r. visit and i dont know what my ejection fraction showed or any of those terms dont really make any sense to me. But i do know when i had the test to see if i GB was working it wasnt showing up at all...my dr sent me back to my rm only to do the test 2 more times and tell me he doesnt believe that my Gb isnt working! WHat an idiot. I basically told him he IS GOING TO TAKE IT OUT NOW or i will be back tomorrow until something is done.
