It does not sound at all like my Crohn's Colitis.. . but Crohn's can also attack the upper aspect of the gastrointestinal tract.
,
See a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and biopsy.

Sorry to hear you are suffering so much, but I am not a Doctor or specialist but having suffered with Colitus for the last 5 years and having a Brother that has suffered a lot longer, it doesn't sound like you have Crohns or Colitus because you appear not to have the bowel problems. Go to the medical people that can sort you out. Everyone suffers different systems. I hope you get it sorted soon.
