Gastro persistant issues

To give a little background for the last 6 months i've been having a variety of systems with my digestive track from being constipated often to severe stomach pains to a pressure on mid right abdominal area after i eat. Lately i've been constantly queasy and been getting random moments of lightheadedness that last from a minutes to 10 minutes. Also for the last few years i have had severe acid reflux. I should also note that I have a history of polyps in my digestive track.  

My doctors have already run a colonoscopy, upper GI endoscopy, ultrasound of liver, gallbladder and kidney, and CT scan of my abdominal region, plus countless blood test. Every test has come back normal. Yet my symptoms persist. To treat the severe stomach pain that i had a week ago i was put on 20mg of omeprazole twice a day and told to stop taking Prilosec OTC for the time being.

Im looking for any suggestions to try to solve these issues.

You were extremely young to have polyps, are they keeping a close eye on this?  I know your recent tests were fine, but there are other conditions that present with polyps between 8-10 years of age.  Like I said in my last post, I think it's your gallbladder as inflammation of it would not show up in the tests they ran.  Hopefully someone else can be of more help.  Take care.

No polyps were found on the all the tests recently. I had 3 removed several years ago from i believe my colon but im not positive since i was 11 at the time and dont remember all of the facts. Any idea about the constant queasyness?

Exactly where in your digestive tract are your polyps, and what is their plan for treating them?  Inflammation of the gallbladder will not show up on an ultrasound, you may want to persue futher testing on this. Pain after eating is normally an ulcer or gallbladder, and they didn't see an ulcer, so I would re-visit the gallbladder, and please let me know where your polyps are and what their plan is. Thanks!
