why's my stomach hurt

ever since i was 11 yrs old i've had stomach problems, after i ate lunch it would  hurt so bad i couldn't stand up and try to go to the bathroom but it never helped only when i laid down and now im 26 and still have them, almost everyday something hurts and i will be fine one minute and the next my stomach grows bigger like im bloated and when i walk i hunch over. i never had this checked by a doctor so i don't know if it's a medical problem, i also don't have bowel movements everyday so that may be another reason. my mother has these symptoms too so it may be hereditary..i think, does anyone know what this may be or has the same problems, please help thank you!

Sorry to hear you are having such problems!! Have you ever been in to a Gastroenterologist? It would probably be a good idea as these symptoms can be caused from everything from Severe IBS, Celiac disease, food allergies, Chrons, Gastroparesis, and CIP just to name a few. If you haven't seen a GI then I would start off by making it clear how miserable you are to you general doctor...they should refer you. Then, hopefully you can get some treatment and relief!! Good luck!
