Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

All the symptoms of random pains in the stomach, cringing pain, extremely hungry, and bloating of the stomach are a symptoms complex of various problems.

I would advise you the following ::
Excessive hunger has to be investigated by doing oral glucose tolerance tests Hba1c to see whether you have diabetes or not.
Upper GI endoscopy to be done

Evaluation for the stress and anxiety and the treatment has to be taken accordingly as advised by your treating Doctor.
Contrast enhanced CT scan has to be done to see any pancreatic tumor or any other problem.

Proper symptomatic treatment will cure of your problem.
If all the investigations are normal, IBS has to be considered and treated accordingly.

In the meantime start PPI and antacid and probiotic regularly
