My old roommate would have seizures. Episodes were scary. I found out he had it when he had an episode in front of me while gaming together. It was just us, and I didn't know what to do so I called 911.

Yeah, I was diagnosed at age 14; that was 22 years ago. I had probably 12 grand-mal seizures in that time, but God's blessed me with some great meds and doctors.

Not to sound rude because I'm glad you found doctors and meds to help, but at least they know what's wrong with you, I've been going to the Dr.saround my area for almost 20 years due to chronic abdominal pain. I can't eat anything without getting extreme acid reflux. It always feels like a creature is trying to rip it's way out of my stomach. Always feel bloated and bruised. And either am really irregular going to the bathroom because I'm either constipated or have the runs.
They've tested for just about everything and finally have just kind of given up and labeled it as IBS...

By any chance, you haven't had your Gallbladder removed have you? I know three people with symptoms exactly like yours that started after they had their gallbladders removed. Unfortunately, all three of them had to learn to live with it.

Dude, I literally have the same thing. Anytime I eat anything, no matter what or how little/much, it's like instant acid reflux and terrible stomach aches (which is not so great in itself, but extra awful when you've got anxiety disorders and also stress eat). It's terrible and at times, downright debilitating because all that pain and frustration leaves me utterly exhausted a lot.
