I have just been treated for oral thrush. It has come back. What do you think is causing it. What other treatment can my DR. give me. I was on antibiotics and lozenges.

I've always wondered...

I am 16-year-old and have very frequent stomach problems. After I eat, I will experience severe upper abdominal discomfort and indigestion. Also, I get what feels like bubbles of air coming up into my esophagus, accompanied by a sort of growlng noise. The condition is worsened by excercise, and greatly lessened by laying down.
I've tried eating different foods and eliminating certain foods from my diet, but it doesn't seem to matter what I eat. Usually, I will experience symptoms after eating almost anything, be it a meal or just a little snack. However, my symptoms are usually worse after I eat big meals. Sometimes it won't bother me for 8 to 10 days, only to come back later and give me problems every time I eat.
Symptoms will last for several (at least one to four) hours after I eat and are greatly worsened by excercise. Even going to the gym two hours after a meal, I end up feeling really indigested. I have tried taking medicine for gas and acid such as Pepto Bismol and Tums (as well as a few suggested to me by my pharmacist). None of these work. I talked to my doctor, but he simply named several stomach disorders and vaguely said he'd run some tests (which all came back negative).
At first I thought it might be GERD, but then I realized that I have no pain, only discomfort, and that my discomfort is greatly reduced by laying down, not worsened as in GERD.
What can I do? My parents have basically blown me off. They think that it can't be bothering me that much because I don't really complain about it, but I just don't complain because I know there's nothing they can do. I've ended up barely eating because doing so just makes me sick.
Please help! What could this be?
P.S.- My dad has pretty severe dysphagia. Could this be genetic?

After eating very spicy food or greasy food, I often experience intense stomach cramps and bloody diarrhea. Could I have Crohn's? Could it just be a food allergy?
