Awful pain and fatigue, still no diagnosis

I've never posted anything like this before, but I want some advice moving forward..

I'm only 21 years old, and I've been told I'm very young to be developing symptoms like these.

For 3 or more years I've been dealing with chronic gastritis. It's extremely painful and debilitating, but the doctors can't seem to do anything. It has gotten to the point of hospitalization, but still no answers. I've had various tests for h pylori bacteria all come up negative.

The last year or so I've developed major fatigue, to the point where I can't function normally anymore. Even going for a walk wipes me out for the whole day. Taking blood tests revealed nothing, everything was "normal". CT brain scans also came up clear. I'm so worried something more serious is going on and is being ignored by my doctors because I'm "too young" What else should I do?

    I haven't done this, but I have heard of people going to Naturopaths, and they have helped more than Doctor's. Doctor's just want to treat the symptom, not the cause. Also, a good nutritionist or dietician can help as well. I have heard people use an amino acid L-Arganine with great success.
