For such long acting symptoms I assume you've been evaluated & gastroscoped by a gastroenterologist. Peptic ulceration of the stomach or duodenum are usually more symptomatic when the stomach is empty and better with eating. If you haven't had a gastroscopy or even a consultation with a gastroenterologist, I strongly recommend these. If you have a gastroenterologist, consult him again for testing
