Troublesome Symptoms

I am a 16-year old male with many questions.  I have been "sick" for nearly 4 months, and haven't quite figured out what is going on.  I am having stomach problems such as:  constant nausea, stomach cramps, the feeling of something being stuck in the throat, watery stools, weight loss, loss of appetite, uncontrollable belching.  These symptoms are occuring all day, every day.  I need to know what's causing this because I am very worried for my health.  I have never had these symptoms before, and have tried various times to stop them with medications like Prevacid.  The medications are not working and I am becoming afraid to go out in public because I feel so sick.  What disease/illness do I have?  How can you treat it?  Will I be able to function as I did years before this happend?

Hello, Im only 14 so I can only give so much but I have crohn's disease and have felt allot of these symptoms I really recommend seeing a doctor. You may have something serious hiding inside you and you dont want to wait to long to find out. It could be as little as an ulcer or as big as anything really, if you are diagnosed with something long term or chronic with treatment you are able to function as you did before.
Feel better soon and go see a professional
