Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Heartburn

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...For About six weeks now, I have had bad stomach pain that is getting worse located in my mid-stomach under my navel. It used to wake me up at 4 a.m. Now it is waking me up at 2 a.m and I can't get back to sleep. Pepto-bismol isn't much help. I took a prescription acid reducer in the past and it help just slightly. It is a burning-gassy sensation that sometimes hurts into my lower back also. I have found that cheese and chocolate seems to give me the worst problems, so I have cut back on those, but any food seems to bother me. I have had problems off and on with this in the past and saw a doctor, but they did not have an answer for what could be causing this. Now in the last two days, it is even hurting during the day time and my stomach is growling almost constantly at night.
