Floridagal, I tend to believe in "first do no harm..." If I had your symptoms, I would try an elimination diet. Try gluten free for 2 weeks or more - you'll have to really look at labels and ask questions in restaurants. If that helps, simply keep doing it. If not, try eliminating milk and milk products. Again, look carefully for hidden milk and "lactose". If neither helps, start eliminating one specific food (beef, chicken, potatoes, carrots, etc)
I suspect some change will help you feel better. The good news is that it will cost little or nothing to try and none of it is harmful to you. Two weeks without cake rarely kills someone... If not, you cant try all of the various meds that people have suggested.
And if you have a lot of pain from it, try some garlic oil and or tumaric (yellow mustard). Again, neither will harm you, but may make you feel better.
