What could be wrong with me, if anything?

Hi. I'm 14, and I had my first period about 4 months ago. Since then, I've been masturbating quite a lot, but had nothing. For the last three weeks, my digestion has been a bit messed; I had a cold, and then I started having quite bad diarrhea. That went away after a few days, but was closely followed by a spell of total constipation. That cleared up about two weeks ago, and since then, I've had regular bowel movements. But I've also had regular stomach aches after meals, and some heartburn, at its worst yesterday after I stupidly ate a big meal. It was so bad I had to take a pill.

I keep thinking I have some terrible illness like cancer or internal bleeding, even though I know it's stupid, as I don't feel nearly that bad. I told my mum about how I've been feeling, and put it down to stress and puberty, and suggested that I may have inherited some of her many allergies, and they are now showing themselves, because puberty changes things in the body. I'm pretty sure that she's right, and I'm just allowing my imagination to be pro-active, but I just need a little more reassurance, please?
