Doctor's are not giving me help with my stomach pain and all my symptoms! Help!

I have had bad stomach pains last 2 weeks, always dizzy, almost fall asleep driving because I am so tired, neck pain and my ankles and feet ache. I have headaches through out the day. I only was vomitting on one day, but I am nausous every day. Also, I normally eat a LOT, and I have completely lost my appetite, I have no desire to eat. I also get very bloated after eatting.
I am 24 female and very active I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. When I eat it feels like its swirling around in my stomach. I went to doctor got tested for bacteria and pests, but nothing turned up. They tried a pregnancy test definately not that either. I have always had issues with my stomach but no one has been able to figure it out. I had tests for acid reflux and or tests few years ago. They made me swallow a liquid then waited an hour and then went into xray room etc..
Should I get my blood sugar level tested?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Yes, test for diabetes and hypothyroidism as these can slow down the gut and cause delayed gastric emptying and bloatedness. If these two conditions are ruled out then consult a gastroenterologist. A number of times a gastroenterologist is able to diagnose these conditions by clinical examination and detailed medical history. At other times a few tests are conducted. Blood tests to rule out anemia, stool test to look for white blood cells, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy etc are used to diagnose ulcerative colitis. Braium meal and follow through, endoscopy etc are done to rule out GERD, Crohn’s disease etc. Irritable bowel syndrome is diagnosed by elimination of other causes. Gluten is a complex protein present in four main grains---wheat, rye, barley and oats. If you have gluten intolerance, then you probably have celiac disease or Non Celiac gluten sensitivity. There are blood tests called celiac test to detect gluten intolerance.
Crohn’s disease is a difficult entity to diagnose. An upper GI series using barium dye is done to see the condition of small intestines. A biopsy is the most confirmatory. A recent advancement in Crohn’s diagnosis is video capsule endoscopy. Hope this helps. Take care!

Hi again,

So I went to the doctor, got referred for a bunch of blood tests, which they did.
I am looking at the results right now.
My hematocrit level is High and I was referred for Helicobacter Pylori Bacteria (which leads to ulcers or stomach cancer).
I go to the doctor again monday to discuss results.
Im still having lots of pain in abdomen, my joints are killing me now and aches and pains, so tired still, headaches.. When will it end!?

Cheers

Thanks for the comments!!
I have always had a great diet. I cut out the caffine and alcohol right away. I just drink water and gatorade, what the doctor told me, but still nothing.
I can't even think about eatting fatty or defried foods.
I usually eat meat a lot, and love it, but I can't think about that either, which is odd for me.
I have another appointment on monday! Wish me luck :)

drink plenty of water
i had camera and biopsy on my stomach all seems ok but i have problems too.
i get all same as yourself.
numb ness in face travels up head

.
if your symptoms stay bad go to chemist and get "KOLANTICON GEL"
take it whenever symptons occur, ask your doctor if they will supply you with it .
next step ;doctors get stomach tablets "omperazole " (helps reflux)
and "domperidome" ( helps sickness) these tablets are expensive so npush for them....
i hope i've helped. keep in touch for anymore help .
oh , i'm only 43 and suffered from the age of 33  !!
