Good luck with the doc - Heather has a list somewhere of everything you need to be tested for. But I'd push for a colonoscopy (which not all docs suggest) - it can rule out IBDs.
In the meantime, trying to change your diet can only help, not hurt! The "easiest" first steps are give up coffee (totally, I'm afraid), give up caffeine, give up fizzy drinks, give up salads and try to avoid dairy and high fat foods. Pizza without cheese is actually very nice (I got take-away pizza for the first time tonight! ). And remember that plain chocolate, or eating chocolate AFTER a carby meal is better.
It's not that bad, I promise! I'm sitting here eating chips (baked) dipped in houmous - yummy! And I had pizza for dinner!
