Horrible abdominal Pain- all tests say I am fine but I am not

Hello @jojo13,
I agree with @fourof5zs, that keeping of journal of everything that you eat and do along with the discomfort you experience is a great idea. Have you tried the Fodmap eating plan? For the first month, you eliminate a number of foods and then add back foods one at a time. For the first month, the eating plan eliminates gluten and dairy which are foods that can cause serious digestive tract problems. Please do not negate the power of changing your eating habits as a way of controlling your symptoms.
I would also like to invite @thull to this conversation as she has had multiple surgeries of the lower digestive tract and she might be able to offer some suggestions as well.

The adhesions can definitely cause pain, blockage and bloating. I had all three. They spent at least 2 hours of my 4th surgery clearing out adhesions so they could get to the blockage in my large intestine. I agree that a CT scan with contrast would be a necessary test.
Also, keeping track of your eating and how your gut responds to it is a good idea
