constant stomach problems-no answers

For the past few years, Ive known that I have a"sensitive stomach" that would get upset at random times for pretty much no known reason, which was pretty common I thought.  In the last year however, my problems have been growing increasingly worse. Each and every morning when I woke up, I'd start feeling this INTENSE burning in my stomach, the best way to describe it is that my stomach is digesting itself.  It gurgles so loudly that others around me can hear it and I'll be doubled over with that disgusting feeling. Then, about 5 months ago, I woke up 15 days in a row violently throwing up tons of stomach acid.  After those horrible 15 days it went back to the regular awful burning and gu:rgling like usual.  Its like clockwork-my burning and gurgling wakes me up at the exact same time every morning-8:30 am and I cant go back to sleep because of the intense feeling. Ive been to the doctor a billion times and have been on the prescription Zantac and Pepcid for 5 months and have had an endoscopy that came back "normal' except for areas of damage from high acid areas and inflammation.  The doctors basicall told me threre was nothing more to do since there wasnt a "real probloem".. I feel very sick and discouraged.  Im 17 years old and really want to know what is wrong with me.  I do eat a very healthy diet, and have never been a couch potato or a junk food junkie.. I thought maybe it was Celiac since my sister is a Type 1 Diabetic, but they tested for that in the endoscopy, but it was a negative. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! :)
