If not IBS, then what else could it be?

I suffer from severe bloat, pain and gas after eating and assumed it was IBS. But after doing some research I see that I don't have constipation or diarrhea which usually need to be present for diagnosis.

I tried going on Heather's IBS diet anyway for a month....literally to the 't' except for one piece of gum, and have not noticed a difference. It seems the only thing I can tolerate is Saltine Crackers.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else could be wrong? I was tested for parasites and it came back negative. I'm even so desperate that I'm getting a colonic tomorrow. My doctor agrees that something isn't right and is ordering some tests but I'm not sure what other diseases cause bloat.

Any advice, help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!
