Please help with my extremely nervous stomach. I can't go on like this!?

Question: Hello, I am an 18 yr old male. For years I have had a stomach that has been nothing but problems. I have lost jobs, been late for school, and missed other important things in my life due to my stomach. Some say it's all in my head, I dunno. Every morning when I wake up I MUST relieve my stomach. Everyone once in a while it hurts so bad I can't even sit up straight. I am going to the doctor today but I'm not sure if it will be much help as our doctors are by no means the best in this area. I have had to take off the last three days due to my stomach cramps. I can get lightheaded, dizzy, sleepy, upset stomach, nausea, diarhea, cramps, etc. When I sit and worry if I'll have an upset stomach when I wake up it makes it hurt then as well. Sometimes I will get hot flashes and have to cool down or I will get sick and I hate throwing up. This stomach problem is ruining my life. I dunno if it's some sort of problem inside, my nerves, anxiety, or what. What can be perscribed. Please help!

It ia a possiblity that it may be your nerves, anxiety, ect., often called Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)... you can look that up. But before that can be diagnosed, make sure that you go to the doctor and checked out to make sure it is not something else such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If it is interferring with your life, you should have it worked up.

Have them test you for Celiac disease. This can go undiagnosed in many cases. Check it out on the internet and see if your symptoms match. Also look at The Gluten-Free Mall online. You may be allergic to gluten. If so, you will be sick all the time until you cut out the gluten. Check it out. It's more common then you know. No cure, just diet.
