Doctors find nothing wrong but the pain is so bad. I do not know what to think.

That's still really vague. Have they done a cat scan, MRI, endoscope into the stomach, barium swallow, they could do what's called a hyda test to check to see if your gallbladder is emptying properly. When you have these plains what are you doing? Does the pain happen after you eat. Other than plain and sweats any other symptoms? How long does the pain last. You mentioned all over pain in the stomach does it feel like you have knots. Have you been constipated? Have you thought about maybe out id's a food? Have you seen a gastroenterologist? You really need to write down your symptoms, when they happen how you feel when it happens and do a good journal. Then I would try to get referred to a gastroenterologist.

Mention porphyria to your doc, if you could do a urine screen test for it.
Also try to collect and take your urine in an attack outside in a glass open (once back home from ER), under UVA for 48 hours. See if colour changes (that's your home screen test)

Also for you please investigate a certain form of heriditary angioedema that has abdominal involvment only. (the other forms don't have abdominal severe pain). Symptoms very typically resolve over 2 days.

HEA or aquired angioedema (AA) (that effects abdomen, not visually anywhere else)
is easily tested: C1 Esterase INH (enzyme in blood, cheap test).
It is also easily treated since this level is low in an attack, this enzyme is given iv.
So maybe you can very politely (as they don't like to be told what to do) if it was please possible to check the C1 INH during a pain attack, your symptoms would fit highly. Just for peace of mind, also exclusion is one step further to diagnose, too and as said: inexpensive, simple.
