Thank you for this excellent question. Abdominal pain , burning and nausea are very broad symtoms with many causes. Endoscopies are just one of many ways we use to diagnose problems such as yours. Assuming your upper and lower endoscopies are normal, the cause of your symptoms could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, hormonal abnormalities, structural abnormalities in your abdominal cavity and many other reasons. You need to go back to your gastroenterologist and tell them you symptoms persist and a more detailed work up is needed. Good luck!
It is important that you have follow up with your primary care physician. He/she should have the reports from procedures, medications and physician consults in order to direct care to the next step.
