been in pain for almost a yr now?

Ok well back in July of 08 I had a swollen tonsil, I was put on antibiotics for a month! Then I was told to start taking prilosec otc. While on prilosec i started getting some of the rare side effects such as kidney and testicular pain. So i stopped using prilosec. Then I started noticing I had some abdominal pain I would say my intestine area. A mild burning that would come and go. I also had some burning in my stomach aswell.

Well one night it felt like my stomach exploded so i went to the ER. Then took xrays and blood test and found nothing and told me to see my doctor in 3 days if i still had some pain. So i did. My doctors ran a lot of test, xrays, blood test, upper GI scan, stool samples, urine test. Nothin they could find nothin. and now I was having some liver area pain aswell.

After awhile I went to my chiropractor and they took a stool sample and found that my liver was stressed and I had a bad bacteria in my intestines. Then I was put on a bunch of supplements that did help most of the pian go away.
But once the supplements ran out my pain came back.

over the holiday season i found out that a few of my relatives had their gallbladders out. So i went to have that tested for that and it turned out my gallbladder works 10% less then normal and the surgeon did not recommend surgery.

Well I went back to the supplements and here I am i am sick to death of the pain it drives me crazy doctors tell me theres nothin wrong with me. Some one suggested i even try smoking marijuana, i use to do it quite often back in the day so i did try it a few times and it makes the pain in my intestine area worse a lot worse.

My worst fear is that one day ill take a turn for the worse and it will be too late to fix whatever it is that is wrong with me. Everthing was fine until i was put on atibiotics for a month and then prilosec otc for 2 weeks.

Any ideas???

Yes, see a GI dr.  Your regular dr did some tests but not the same as a GI dr.
