    Several things
    While I have a few ideas, my biggest suggestion is go see your family doctor to have it checked.

    Thank You
    Thank you for your opinion, I have seen our family doctor and had blood work, but nothing came of it. I believe the next step is to see a specialist.

    Ask your doctor about irritable bowel syndrome. I was diagnosed with that last March after experiencing similar (although not identical) symptoms. It's not curable, but it is controlled easily with proper diet and medication.

    Above all, I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist. A specialist can pinpoint the problem more quickly than your primary care physician.

    Stomach problem
    Hi,
    I agree with the answer suggesting seeing a Gastroenterologist. My wife had stomach problems, upset, for years! After her visit with the specialist, did a scope of her stomach; forgot the name of the test, but the doctor will know.
    He found a bacteria, that could not be found in blood testing.
    I do wish you the best, and please see a Gastroenterologist. Happy New Year.

    This sounds like you may have G.E.R.D. (aka acid reflux disease). I have it and that is my main syptom! You will need to see your doctor for a diagnosis. It is usually accompanied by heartburn but not always. Maybe this website will help!

    Good luck!
