Why Does Spicy Foods And Pills Cause Stomach Problems?

My teenage daughter is having terrible stomach problems. It seems to happen when she eats greasy or spicy foods and also when she takes any type of pill. The pill could be birth control (Trinessa), tylenol, pepcid, etc. She has had an ultrasound and blood taken. Nothing was found in the ultrasound but the blood work should borderline high cholesterol and high triglycerids. Does anyone know what her problem could be and what type of specialist she should see? This has been going on for 6 months now.
