Sensitive stomach??
18/f. Ok soo, about 3 years ago, in the summer for a week straight, I had really bad stomach pains. I did not throw up or even have like diarreha. But i remember feeling nauseous abs just a sour stomach. Since then, I've had a hard time eating certain foods. At first, it was just very spicy foods, but now it's just like pizza. For awhile I would take Tylenol like any time my stomach hurt just a little. So, after that I thought the whole thing was in my head, so still never went to the doctor. I've stopped taking Tylenol and i'm still getting the stomach pains.
It's not cramps, and I don't do drugs or take any medication. I've also stayed the same consistent weight.
So does anyone know what this is or has experienced it?

It really could be any number of things, but most of us here on Advicenators aren't doctors, and any who are won't do a diagnosis online, sight unseen.
That said, there are a few that come to mind:
- I had problems with this until I realized that it happened after I had a glass of milk every morning. Turns out I'm lactose intolerant!
- My fiance had this happen to him, and we think we've narrowed it down to a gallbladder sensitivity. It happens every time he eats a lot of animal fat: really cheesy pizza, ribs, pretty much anything fun.
- My mom has this as well, and it's because of an ovarian cyst pushing on her gallbladder. She can't eat animal fats.
- My friend also had severe stomach pains for a while, and he found out that he has a gluten allergy.
Or it could be an ulcer, or acid reflux, or something else.
What the doctor will probably ask you to do is to keep a food diary and note when your pains come on so they can see what's bringing it on. They might ask you to cut out all foods of a certain type for a while to see if that helps.

It could be a myriad of things.
I'd advise you to go to a doctor if this is troubling you, which it sounds like it is. None of us can properly diagnose you.
You might be prone to stomach ulcers, have acid reflux, and a certain medication could easily fix your problems.
It's not "in your head", and as a person who lives with Acid Reflux Disease, I'm quite familiar with the aversion toward spicy/greasy foods and the general discomfort.
