IBS? or no? i have been to dozens of doctors and still in so much PAIN!!!!

hi, i'm 19 years old, female, and my entire life i have struggled with very severe and persistent stomach pains. the past 3 weeks have been incredibly hard for me. i'm currently enrolled in university and with my sickness it has been hard to be in class everyday. i have been in the hospital ER three times in the past week and no one can seem to figure out why i am in so much pain. they keep telling me that i have IBS, which would make sense i guess, but none of the medications they give me seem to work.
they ran tests on my gall bladder which came back fine and they have run many blood and urine tests and say that everything is normal.
the last time i was in the ER, however, they did a CT scan and found that i have swollen lymph nodes in my stomach. i was merely sent home after given some morphine. my family doctor called me a few days later to ask how my pain was in my stomach, but it is still severe. she said that she was concerned about the swollen lymph nodes that the CT scan found but she did not tell me why she was concerned or what it could mean. i have not heard back from anyone and i'm stuck up here in college, worried that there might be something really wrong with me.
what sort of things can cause swollen lymph nodes in the stomach??
i would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
thanks, i'm desperate for help...

the list of swollen lymph nodes could vary from infection to just plain old being run down  to something more serious ,this is something u should discuss with your doctor and find out exactly what is going on and not be worrying about it too much....this is something i still cant understand about doctors they say u have ibs which is widely accepted that stress and worry does not help and they leave u on the edge like this ,,this is not fair ,,i would contact my doc if it were me and put an answer to this as he/she can only provide the true answer and put your mind at rest .

i hope u feel better soon and keep posted
