Some years ago I started having bad indigestion that the usual OTC remedies failed to relieve much and this culminated in violent stomach cramps so bad that from Thursday through Tuesday I was in agony, only took sips of water and lost nearly a stone (6kgs for the younger ones ). I took the YorkTest route and it came back with several positive intolerances. Armed with the results I went to see my GP but he was very unimpressed, saying that virtually everyone is intolerant to a greater or lesser degree to many foods and my results were insignificant.
He then arranged for me to have a video camera shoved down my throat in hospital and that confirmed 'mild chronic gastritis' - all I can say is if those stomach cramps were 'mild' I should hate to get it bad .
I still suffer with chronic gastritis 10 years later, the only time I'm not aware of the gastritis is for a couple of hours maximum after meals, but it is kept tolerable by twice daily prescriptions for Omeprazole or Ranitidine.
Don't know why I've posted all this except perhaps to ask you (Dom) not necessarily to expect to get answers to your problems and you may have to learn to live with it without being able to put anything more than a very general name to it. However I do wish you luck with it and hope it turns out to be something simple and easily countered.
ATB,
