Stop looking at those websites girly! Try not to self diagnose and freak yourself out. It sounds like you might benefit from seeing a GI specialist. All the symptoms may not be related, but the stomach ones and hot and cold flashes may be a gastro issue going on.
A year ago (ish) I was experiencing a lot of stomach issues, chills, night sweats, and 'bathroom issues,' it got pretty serious and I was hospitalized and was told that I was having symptoms of ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease. Luckily it ended up just being an infectious colitis that antibiotics and some stomach medications helped.
Do you have a temperature? Maybe you are coming down with the flu or a stomach bug. If you have a fever that could very well explain the achiness and hot/cold flashes.
I'd definitely give your doctor a ring...and stop looking at those websites! I'm guilty of the same thing, and basically any symptom you have will come up with all these diagnoses, and the last ones tend to be cancer. So, really don't get yourself too worked up. Try to relax and make a list of all your symptoms and read them off to your doctor so they can order some different tests and try to get to the bottom of it.
While you are waiting for your doctor's appointment I'd just really reccommend resting your mind and body. Also maybe keep track of different things, such as when your symptoms are the worst, if there are any foods or drinks that tend to trigger symptoms, and record how often and the appearance of bowel movements. If you at any point see blood in your stools, you should really go to the emergency room.
Good luck!
