Stomach Spasms, Nausea, gas, bloating,

[lk1382]

Okay, I'm going to keep this as brief as I possibly can. I'm wondering if anyone has had the same symptoms or recognizes what this might be.  I'm not sure if it's all related!  

Five years ago, I got very ill.  The symptoms were mono-like (severe nausea, strep throat), but the tests kept coming up negative.  I was sick for several weeks.  So sick that I lost twelve pounds.  I was prescribed several antibiotics until I finally kicked it.  

I considered myself digestive problem free until right after this.  I suffered from constipation, gas, bloating, nausea.  It was all unrelated to any food that I ate.  The doctors suspected IBS.  I had a test for parasites and a CBC.  

I learned to "stomach" the symptoms. I eat very, very well.  I'm rarely feeling perfect, but I've managed.  Then, another symptom started.  Sometime during the day I will feel tired, then nausea, then my stomach will start spasming.  I will feel violently ill and often spend a lot of time throwing up. It's gotten to the point where I've gotten sick at 7:00PM and not gotten to sleep until 6:00AM. During these episodes I've noticed mild back aches (I normally don't have back problems) and sometimes I feel like my legs are jittery or my leg muscles are spasming. I've chalked this up to tensing up, but I'm sometimes not so sure.

The doctors did an Upper GI series and spotted "a little reflux." I've been on Ratitidine, then Prilosec, and the episodes haven't gone away.  Someone suggested a gluten allergy, and I was tested for that. It came up negative.  

One more thing...I am a 26-year-old female.  I sometimes notice that the episodes seem worse right before my period....but my lower abdomen (where I would feel period cramps) feels fine.  

I'm hoping someone, out there, has an idea.......

I should also add that I never have heartburn so the reflux diagnoses seems a little odd. I've also had an outbreak of cavities (possibly reflux related?)
