Re: Pain
It certainly sounds as though you have IBS (obviously just based on what you have said and all other reasonable tests have been done in the past e.g wheat allergy Coeliac blood test etc). You have had a number of different treatment interventions but I wonder have you gone down the psychological based therapy route as it is now having such an impact on your daily life? This may include cognitive behavioural therapy and in patients who have so many symptoms that so impact their life and have tried all other basic treatments I consider the introduction of a low dose anti depressant to act on the billions of nerves in the gut. We dont exactly know how that treatment works but it is successful in some patients....
