Can't eat. Abdominal Pain. Don't know why I'm sick. HELP ME PLEASE.

I've been sick like this for about a month and a half. It just hit me one day at the mall after I ate Chipotle and I suddenly felt extremely nauseous and my stomach hurt so bad. I couldn't even walk. I ended up leaving the mall in a wheelchair. I thought it was just the flu but instead of getting better, it got worse. I can't eat anything besides chips and sometimes I can't even eat chips. It just depends on how my body is doing that day. I've lost around 12 lbs. If I even put any food near my mouth to try to eat it won't go down. I don't know how to explain it other than my body like won't let me eat it. My stomach hurts in my upper abdomen area almost all the time. It's like a constant dull ache. Sometimes it will feel burning a little but not very bad. My throat will feel funny whenever I will try to eat something new. It's so frustrating. I've seen the doctor plenty of times. I've been to the ER twice. I've been prescribed a few meds but I'm still sick. I've had an Ultra Sound on my gall bladder/pancreas area but they found nothing. I saw a gastroenterologist and he said it could either be Irritable Bowel Syndrome or possibly an ulcer. My mom is starting to think it's a parasite infection. I had a large number of white blood cells in my urine tests so they treated me for a UTI but I'm still sick. All of my blood tests have been normal, including the one for the H.Pylori bacteria that causes alot of digestion problems like gastritis and stomach ulcers. My dad and I found this honey online called Manuka Honey that apparently treats all the problems I could possibly have so we ordered some and are going to try it. But I'm just scared that it's not going to work and that I'm not going to find out what's wrong with me. I don't understand why this is happening. It's affecting my entire life. I can't go out with my boyfriend or friends to dinner because I can't eat anything. I can't eat dinner with my family. I couldn't celebrate Christmas dinner with them because I couldn't eat. It makes me tired all the time from having no nutrients or energy in my body. I've had to call in to work because of not feeling well. I've also had to miss class. If anyone has any idea what could possibly be wrong with me, please let me know. This is wearing me out emotionally and physically. I am scared and I am tired of feeling like this. Please help me.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Get a stool test to rule out parasitic infections. Take lactobacillus preparations and yoghurt. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Get liver functions assessed to rule out hepatitis. Consult your gastroenterologist to rule out Celiac Disease/Ulcerative Colitis/Irritable Bowel Syndrome/ Crohn’s disease. Take care!
