Pain just below sternum especially after eating!

[gutch03]

I am having pain just below sternum after eating? X rays/ultrasound/endoscopy/colonoscopy were negative. Blood work to check for heart issues and infection Plori was negative. It seems like previously Nexium seem to help a little. I did have slighly low iron level. One gastro specialist think IBS, but I am not constipated. Though I did notice bloating and less bowel moveements than before. Any suggestions or other tests that you recommend?

.sounds like a good amount of tests have been done..maybe a ct scan with dye would show something..nexium is the best..maybe some allergy testing or blood work to see if you have some intolerences for certain things you are eating.if you only have it after eating im sure its not anything real serious..good luck

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  It sounds like you might have GERD/acid reflux.  Nexium should help that, but sometimes one PPI will work better than another.  I would recommend talking to your doctor about trying a different PPI to see if that will help more.
