confused!

I see that many of you have almost the same issues as I do in regards to our GI systems, so let me ask anyone out there- I had a colonoscopy & endoscopy done today, and I was previously admitted to the ER for abdominal pains-bad abdominal pain that I actually passed out.  They of course found very little, a small blood clot on my small intestine and the doctor ordered a colonoscopy.  In the meantime, I had a few more "attacks" before then, and also found out I had a growth on my thyroid that need's to bo biopsied as well.  However, every doctor I went to assumed I had a peptic ulcer because whenever I consumed red wine, pizza, pickes, anything acidy, I had the attack.  However, my Upper GI showed nothing but a small hiatial hernia.  What is up with that? Now the doctor want's to get a screening of my gallbladder. I am lost, and don't really know if they know, what's going on? Any suggestions?  Thank you!

yes I have had the CT scan , but for some reason they did not screen the gallbladder.  My bloodwork is all normal and fine, and the pain goes from the left side under the ribcage, to the right side - when I look at a picture of the human body, the pain is coming from the area where the liver or gallbladder would be.
