    You might have gallstones or a bad gallbladder.
    ^ My friend's BF had to go to many different doctors and have many tests done before it was determined that he had to have his gallbladder removed. He couldn't keep anything down, was getting horribly nauseous and basically had to quit his job because he couldn't tell what it was that was causing the symptoms.

    Not saying this is what it is for OP, but it's a possibility. A lot of the docs missed it the first time, he had to go to a specialist.

    Obviously I’m not an expert. But the few foods you listed have a common thing of acidity. Sauces, some fruits, etc. (Besides the sodium in some foods) I agree with others who say start eating fresh and clean foods and not pre-packaged or high in fats and sodium foods. Besides paying attention to sodium, pay attention to foods that may have a high acid content and see how you react avoiding such foods. Make sure to keep a diary of the food and list your physical and emotional reactions.

    I just got another appointment on the 28 and will see if any of the other options could be possible. I have done all testing possible. I know it is not gallstone/gallblader, and I had endoscopy/biopsy done....... It all started with eggs when I was 15 and now its getting worse by the day. Thank you for all your comments.

    Just another way of looking at. But, its best to look for specialist for the digestive system and allergists.

    I get this every now and again, every few years going back in total 12 years. Had an attack a month or so, lasted a month and has just vanished and cleared up. Having endoscopy looking in the stomach, duodenum and pancreas area and then colonoscopy just before xmas.

    Weirdly all symptoms have vanished. No change in diet!?

    And yes, I got scared of eating. I'd either bloat out and have rotten fish/egg burbs or have the runs litterally lasting all night. Felt like I'd been repeatedly punched in the guts and ached and twisted top to bottom of my guts.

    I got diagnosed with ibs in 2009 I put up with it for months as couldnt see the pattern of it. Sometimes foods are ok , but then other times it was like a pain that felt someone had attached a pair of pliers to my gut and twisted it. Sometimes on the left side and sometimes the right side of my abdomen. Normally within an hour of eating I would get a really bloated pregnant looking belly and feel like I needed the toilet but couldnt go. I found that certain fibres made it worse ( anything with wheat bran , museli) things with strong flavours like citrus, and soup. I used to always have a tin of soup and crusty bread for lunch. The ibs woupd still come and go even with diet control until I got put on antidepressants ( due to my mental state) and sudenly the ibs went! I can now eat the excluded foods in moderation ( which is good because I was bored of quiche) and I came off the antidepressants after a few months. I would say definitely speak to a doc about other treatments for ibs, or to get tested to see if it is something else. Being in pain from eating is no fun.
