pain after eating anything solid

Hi everyone, I will try to keep it short.

I was perfectly fine (22yo) -> I went jogging and overdone it -> the next day i got terrible pain after eating dinner

It's been over two weeks since this started, every time i eat i get pain after 1,5-2,5 hours. I got admitted to the hospital, all tests came back normal. Diagnosis: functional dyspepsia.

  1. Do you think jogging could have awoken this?

I hadn't had any type of stomachache before for at least a couple of months. And now the pain is so strong that I can't eat anything solid. I can only eat clear liquids/soups, and it still causes me pain. When I tried eating bread I ended up in the ER (painkillers not working, opioids not working). Like I said, it's been a little over two weeks, I've been only eating liquids and still suffering. I got prokinetics prescribed and alprox (for 4 days). But yeah, so far no improvement and I still can't eat. Doctors think it's psychological, but honestly this year was the best year of my life (until now lmao) so??? I am so lost.

  1. Any idea what else can help? I heard about neuromodulators, do they really help in severe cases like mine?

  2. How long an episode like that can last?

There is no improvement at all and I don't know if I should just wait or seek further help? I'm slowly losing hope as I'm getting weaker and weaker everyday. Doctors say there is nothing else they can do. Do I just...wait?

  1. What about enteral feeding? Is this an option? Have any of you tried it?

I want to keep living my life... I need to find a way.
