Brief Answer:
5 steps i can suggest

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Personally I feel you are bordering on the symptoms of IBS
The best ways for treatment of that are
1. high fiber diet and use of isapghulla
2. plenty of fluids
3. anxiolytics- you will need a prescription
4. other medicines are available- but you need a detailed examination before i can suggest those
5. try a proton pump inhibitor as well

The fact remains that if it is IBS, likely all your reports will be negative.
