Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
From your query i understood that you are worried about unidentifiable cause for abdominal discomfort even after many investigations.

You may be suffering from Functional Abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) or Functional Gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) like Epigastric pain syndrome, Functional dyspepsia, Unspecified functional bowel disorder.

It causes Chronic recurrent abdominal without any structural, metabolic or organic causes.

Abdominal pain in this category is usually not related to eating, defecation, urination, menstruation or exercise.
Some features of FAPS are
1. Pain may diminish when they engage in work
2. Pain may increase in stressful situation
3. They need complete pain relief immediately.
4. Some people may have psychosocial disorder
5. poor self management

Cure is not possible

Pain killers, Anti depressants, some time Antipsychotics are prescribed.
Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy also helpful.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
If any doubt. kindly reply.
