Take a look at this link about celiac disease -
http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/
If that starts ringing bells, go to www.glutenfreeforum.com or www.celiacforums.com to ask any questions.
It's very common for people to go undiagnosed and having progressively worsening symptoms for years, even decades. The average from first symptoms to diagnosis is ELEVEN YEARS. For me, it was 18 years. A lot of people end up on disability and/or in the hospital before it's diagnosed.
Even if celiac doesn't sound like it makes sense, it can be a number of things, all of which you need to go to the doctor for. You shouldn't be in this much pain. Get a referral to a GI doctor. If the doctor can't find any disease or condition that could cause your pain, you should consider the possibility that other common foods such as soy, eggs, corn, yeast, dairy could be causing or contributing to it.
Hope you feel better soon.

They are doing a lot of new research on IBS constantly in the more recent years. Lotronex is a medication that has offered many people some relief from the everyday problems with IBS. Worth talking to a Gastrointestinal doctor about, I would also ask for an antispasmodic medication. Also avoid caffeine, insoluble fiber, carbonated drinks, fatty foods, dairy foods, foods that contain gluten and alcohol. Fennel can help reduce bloating and soluble fiber can also help. Hope this help, good luck with treatment.

There can be a number of causes. Like Crohn's or Ulcerative colitis. There is a lot of information on the internet on these. Maybe you have a food intolerance. You need to keep a food diary, and write down everything you eat, and the time you eat it. You may be able to find that you feel bad the day after you eat a certain food, like milk.
