Any time I eat something I get a sharp pain in my stomach?

Okay first thing: I KNOW I HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AND GET THIS CHECKED OUT! Im 16, 17 in 13 days. I will do it, but I just came here for some ideas.

Heres my story:

Any time I eat something, i get a sharp pain right in the middle of my stomach. Sharp!! It made me curl over on the lunch table once. At first it was just salty/greasy food. Now its just about everything I eat and drink, no matter how healthy. Salty/greasy foods and carbonated drinks do it the worst but all foods basically do it. It's been doing this for almost a year. Its tolerable but annoying.

The reason why I havent gone to the doctors yet is cliche - Im terrified. My grandmother [Adopted mother who raised me from birth] just died on Fathers Day from stomach cancer.. I dont think its that but I just dont like doctors. When she first went to the doctors they told her she was hallucionating. Then she went online and found her symptoms similar to stomach cancer. When she went back and told the doctors what to look for, they found it. Way to late. I watched her die infront of my eyes... Even with chemotherapy.

I also cant draw blood. I just cant. My body starts trembling in what is almost a seizure... I had to have four nurses hold my arm down and one take the blood just to get a diabetes test. And even that took 3 needles to get the right amount. Lovely isnt it? I can get shots fine. Just not take blood. I would rather be knocked out first.

Anyway, I turn to YahooAnswers to see if anyone can come up with ideas for me to take to the doctors when Im able to go. Ideas, please?

Wow cooter, way to be a asshole!!

By the way, this was going on even BEFORE my grandmother passed away, thank you.

sounds to me like it has alot to do with your nerves and stress. you seem upset about your grandmother( very understandable) try talking to someone about it, it may help. but just try it

You have heartburn. You can get rid of it by using probiotics from y0our health food store. I had the same thing for years and it went away and stayed away since I started using eh probiotics I use Jarrowdolophius.

Blood draw is totally simple. Your arm is going through a fight or flight mode and having all the blood in your muscles cause you are scares. Do a 20 push ups about 2-5 mins. prior to your giving a blood sample. You can also do push ups or Isometrics as long as it used your biceps back and forth. they use to stick me like Swiss cheese until I heard about this . now, I'm just in and out...no problem. I do isometrics while reading a mag in the waiting room.

Possibly gallbladder disease. Can usually be diagnosed by an ultrasound
