Hi! My doctor says there is nothing physically wrong with me, either. He also diagnosed me as having a lazy colon, which means (from my research) that my colon stays constricted more often than it should, causing the "stuff" to harden and making me constipated. I don't know if that is the same thing as IBS, and he didn't really offer any other suggestions. However, he is sending me to a thyroid doctor, because he found (in the course of bloodwork) that my thyroid is a little low. My aunt (a nurse) says this could cause any number of problems, including constipation. Has your doctor run a full blood work-up on you for celiac disease or thyroid problems?
I do know that the diet doesn't work for everyone...some parts work for me, and some don't. I think searching for answers is a personal thing...you have to do it as long as you feel you have to, and as long as you have support. If you can't "cure" yourself, maybe you need to start investigating pain-management techniques...yoga, hypnosis, accupunture, etc... It's not a "cure," but it will help you live better and be happier, I think. Good luck, and let us know how you are doing.
