I'm not sure either, but wanted to comment that as I was reading your post, my immediate thought was morning sickness or stress-related. Any truth to these suspicions?
My other immediate reaction is: do you have a regular doctor/specialist that you see? You only mentioned "going to the emergency room", which could be part of the problem. If you do not have a regular, trusted doctor, you probably do not have someone (or a team) working with your "whole person", and just treating the symptoms as they present themselves. It is optimal to have consistent, ongoing care, in order to get to the cause of the problem(s) and cause(s).
What do you think is causing your gastric attacks? Do you have a "hunch" or anything else going on in your life beyond eating BBQ food? What research have you already done on gastric disorders?
What tests have been done? Who prescribed all of the medications you listed, and have you gone back to this person for a follow-up? (The medicines may not be correct dosage, or may be ineffective...it's unclear).
As alysia said, I hope one of our medical experts can reply shortly. Hang in there!
