Stomach Probs?

For the past few days I have had terrible pains in my stomach and a lot of bloating. The bloating part has become a daily thing, however.

Besides the obvious of visiting a doctor, any suggestions?

There has been quite a bit of cancer in my family and it concerns me, but with insurance not being very good I am reluctant to go to the doctor so they can run a bunch of tests and then tell me they have no idea and it costing me thousands.

Update:

I woke up with this on Sunday morning. I have taken gas pills and that didn't work like it normally does. When I eat I eat little amounts, as usual. My diet hasn't changed or anything else for that matter.

    try limiting greens and wheat products (bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc) and eat small portions instead of big ones. if you dont see a difference in 1-2 weeks...go to doctor.

    and also try limiting fruit - have only 2 a day in the first half of the day. stay away from sweets - you might have yeast overgrowth.

    have you taken anything for it.. did you try Gas-X when did this start exactly what were you doing when it began? have you been eating alot of spicy and gasy foods? try med over the counter for bloating and gas. or ask your pharmisist about your symptoms and ask him what he would recommend. Try these things before seeing a dr. but dont wait too long ok...
