What Should I Do For Severe Stomach Pain?

So here is my situation---The problem started back in January after I ate a tomato. About an hour after eating the tomato I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Later I felt nauseous; however I did not throw up. I also felt a strong discomfort in my stomach as well. After taking a nap, the situation resolved itself and I felt better. However now (since the tomato episode) when I eat almost anything, the discomfort comes back, yet I do not feel nearly as nauseous as compared to the tomato episode and the pain is completely gone. Also I feel like there is a lump between the border of my neck and my esophagus. Another thing that is troubling about my situation is when I eat certain foods like buckwheat porridge or potatoes, I get the feeling that something is about to go down (for example I might throw up) and I need to stop eating and take a break/lie down. Foods like eggs and oatmeal go down a little better. Lastly my burping (I always had the burps) has increased to the point where I feel uncomfortable. I went to the gastroenterologist* and he originally suspected an ulcer, however after performing an upperoscopy/colonoscopy and a biopsy of my stomach, he informed me I had h.pylori and prescribed me three drugs/antibiotics (Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin and Omeprazole) . After doing some research on h.pylori, I was able to learn that a lot of people have it, yet they do not even know about it. *Besides going the gastroenterologist, I also went to the ER two times and they performed some scans (don’t know the specific names) and of course drew my blood, which was normal UPDATE: After following treatment It has been determined that I m free of the h.pylori virus. This has been determined with the help of a breath test--Also my GI recommended I take a Gastric Emptying Solid test in order to test for the Gastroparesis diagnose. That came back negative as well, even showing that my food digests (goes thur) faster than liquid. My question to you is what do you think I have?---as I m not feeling any better and have lost a lot of weight due to not being able to eat properly.

You had H. pylori infection and got treated but you may still suffer from acidity (gastritis) and indigetion. How is your bowel? Are they clear or you have constipation? Take diet rich in fibres and avoid refined floor, fat etc.(try to change your food habits). Exercise regularly and try to stick to the time table. Avoid eating very hot food and drink plenty of water. gradually you will feel better.
