Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

The commonest causes of sharp stomach pains in the morning on waking up can be due to Gastric ulcer or GERD and / or colitis.

The loss of appetite is secondary to the original problems.

I would advise you the following:
Upper GI Endoscopy.
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
Investigations of the blood for CBC, sugar, liver function tests.
Food allergy testing as you have history.
Stop all the foods and beverages which you have noticed to cause you the problem.
Start taking PPI or Ranitidine, antacids.
Reduce the stress level as this is directly related to your problems.
I find this answer helpful
