Hi, I am a 21 year old female. I have been having intense stomach pains for the past 8 months or so. It sets in about 2-3 hours (sometimes as soon as 1 hr) after I eat. The pain can be described as intense burning, like I am hungry. However, I know that I cannot possibly be this hungry all the time, because my diet is quite normal and I am not eating more or less than I should. The pain is localized to my upper abdomen, just underneath my sternum. Sometimes it is accompanied by mild gas, and often headaches too. It goes away only after I am asleep and is usually not present in the mornings before I eat. I have been keeping a log of my diet for the past two weeks and there does not seem to be any trigger foods. I have been tested for infection (h. plyori), celiac disease, and appendicitis, all negative. I have brought up the possibility of ovarian cysts but OBGYN dismissed it. Any help would be appreciated, seeing as I am a student and cannot afford expensive procedures.
