Wishing I could figure this out

I am so depressed about my health. I feel like it is completely out of my control. I am bloated, cramped about 80% of the time. For the past 8 months I continue to develop worse symptoms in addition to weight gain. I went from 125-139 pounds! The doctors say that it is IBS, since stomach scan/pelvic scan, colonoscopy, and upper endoscopy came back negative for problems. All that he says is that my intestines and colon are inflammed and I have a spastic colon= IBS. I'm wondering...could it be something else? how do i know this is only IBS? Great, now I should take Zelnorm and everything will be fine? Nothing works. Everything takes 2 weeks only to give me MILD results. I feel so frustrated. Before this I was an avid exerciser and healthy eater. I am so depressed I feel like I'm losing my life. Please help me get my life back :-(
Sincerely,
Sad and Bloated
