I'm a 24 year old male. Past 2 years I've had stomach issues on and off with with pain and digestion problems. 2 weeks ago I started to realize that when I ate it felt like it wasn't digesting. This past week I have a very small stinging pain on and off in my stomach. I also have zero appetite and could go days without eating but I have been force feeding. I have been regular with bathroom so far and I have no other symptoms like fatigue, night sweats, fever, or blood in stool. 

I'm just having no appetite and small stinging pains in my stomach. I've tried everything like tums, pepcids, baking soda, eating a bland diet and drinking ginger/mint tea with honey. It hasn't gotten any better and I'm very concerned that it's cancer or something worse. 

Also I have an MRI on my mid back where my stomach is and would the MRI pick up on tumors in my organs?
