Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. From the given description, your continuing stomach discomforts, could be due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or spastic colon is a symptom-based diagnosis. It is characterized by chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating, and alteration of bowel habits. Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate. IBS can also be caused by anxiety or depression. Please consult a psychiatrist of psychologist.
