Q: Constant "gas" And Pain

Hello everyone,

i have read a lot on these forums, and on the net. Anyone who can help , it would be appreciated, any hints, info, etc.

I always have constant gas, cramps in my stomach, either when I eat, or even if the stomach is empty. I often have the feeling I always need to go to the bathroom, but it is just gas most of the time. I have had this for 5 years now, just recnetly have I started intense testing.

I been doing several tests:

- tested for beaver fever: nothing found
- tested for lacotse intolerance, and h pylori: nothing found
- sigmoidoscopy: nothing found
- fluoroscopy: nothing found, apart from benign diverticulitis, nothing major
- ps I have no bleeding, my stools are pretty regular (1 time each morning) and I have diarreah once a week. No blood in the stools, etc.

Next test, is a colonoscopy, and my doctor thinks it ibs, but at this point I have no clue anymore.
I will be meeting with a gastro-stomach specialist in 2 months.

Anyone have any clues, what this could be? It is just a constant gas, pain, and makes it tough sometimes fo rme to even go out to groceries, etc.

Thx, for any help, hints, info
