    Newbie trying to be diagnosed

    Hello, I'm new to the forum, but I'm certainly not new to having "stomach" issues. I've been reading so many stories here and I guess I'm not the only one frustrated by not being able to get a straight answer as to what I have or don't have. To make a VERY long story short, I started having...
