Thank you for your support!
Let me re-establish what I've tried and what's happened:
At the end of 2003 I started to have minimum/low issues with using the restroom. It wasn't nearly as bad as it is now, but it was enough to get my doctor to do a Barium Enema. I did that in January 8th of 2004, and my problem went away (though they DID NOT find any blockage in there). I was fine for months until about November 2004 when I started having attacks again. They were fiercer then before. My doctor and I tried a fiber supplement of eating cereals to see if that would help, and after a week it did seem to go away. Then of February 15th of this year, things went to hell. I started having pains when I woke up in the morning, for about an hour. Then they would subside but not go away. This just got worse and worse. My doctor and I tried some other fiber laxatives like Metamucil and Belladonna for gas. I gave that two weeks and it didn't work. So she sent me to the specialist who then did the colonoscopy. They did see some inflammation in my intestines, but told me it wasn't enough to be deadly or serious (I guess normal?). Well after that I started trying diets, especially the celiac one. I had the test done eventually and they told me it was inconclusive. I have the right genes for celiac, but they said they didn't need to do an upper look around for villa damage because a person with celiac does not have gas logical issues. I'm up to the point where I finally got them to do an upper GI on me, and I'm going to see a doctor about hernias (just in case).
I just think the communication between my regular doctor and the specialist are absolutely horrible, and it makes me disgusted. It's like nobody cares that a young person is being tortured every single day, and it's *in my head*. Even when the pain got so bad in my lower gut that I went to the emergency room, they told me there is nothing they can do for me if it's a digestive problem, and can only give me pain killers. They just wanted me in and out. ~_~
This is what I've come up with so far:
1. It really is severe IBS, and IBS can become so bad that if you lean forward or crouch, you can have immense pain in the gut if the intestines are inflamed that much
2. I actually have Celiac and the doctors are incorrect about that disease/problem not having any symptoms that I've been having
3. It's a hernia (which they never ever checked for before) and that one of my muscle tissues are pulled
Anyway, thanks again for listening to this really long post! 
