I am experiencing intermittent sharp pains in my back, a feeling of fullness in my stomach but with hunger pains, and have been using Gas-X and Pepto-Bismol. I have ulcerative colitis (UC) and have been in remission for 5 months. I am a 30-year-old female with no associated bloating or flatulence, pain on both sides by my ribs, not overweight, drinking a little, and smoking one cigarette a week. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I had sexual contact with someone two weeks ago, performing oral sex on her. I then had oral sex and intercourse with my girlfriend. After 4 days, I saw a doctor for a sore throat, which was not related to an STD. I took Zpack for a bacterial infection. Now, I have symptoms of an STD, such as an itchy and irritated penis tip and frequent urination, just 48 hours after finishing the Zpack. Could I have contracted an STD from the first girl and passed it to my girlfriend, or are these symptoms likely due to stress and guilt?
