What disease do you think I have ?
I had an u/s during pregnancy and they saw small gallstones. I also always have gastric pain and food poisoning as in diarrhea from time to time, usually lasts for weeks and i cant seem to eat anything thats spicy at all...my stomach seems to be sensitive. I went to doctors they cant seem to identify the exact problem and tell me to watch what I eat....I get gastric pain and diarrhea quite often and Im convince i have some underlying problem...when I eat I never 'feel' that i'm full....what do you think it is, is it some kind of IBS or just stress.....

You have gallstones. Gallstones are, essentially, calcified cholesterol that forms in your gall bladder. Your gall bladder is a reserve pouch for bile that is produced by your liver. Bile breaks down the fat in your diet. When food is pushed from your stomach to your small intestine, a signal is sent to your gall bladder for it to contract and release bile.
When gallstones disrupt the flow of bile from the gall bladder, not only do you get pain but you can end up with diarrhea from the fat you just ate not getting digested. Because the fat isn't being digested, it can't be absorbed as nutrients. The bacteria in your gut feed on it, causing colic (gas pains). But ultimately, the fat just runs right through you and you just pass it in your stool.
A low-fat diet rich in fiber may be something you want to consider adhering to.
As for feeling full... There are two signals the body has for feeling full. The first is the sense of satiety that you feel after eating a meal. The second is the physical fullness from eating a large meal. This physical fullness can take as much as 20 minutes for your brain to process, which is why many people "stuff" themselves (I'm guilty of it, too). The focus should be on the feeling of satiety, rather than fullness.

There is a good chance that you have several things going on. Gallstones is confirmed. And since you have been pregnant you could also have a hiatus hernia. And IBS or Crohn"s disease cannot be ruled out. So a visit to a gastroenterologist is in order. Insist on a referral.
