Diarrhea, Abdominal Pain, Chest Pain And Fever. Suggestions

Going on 11 weeks now, extreme diarrhea, runny w/abdominal pain, fever, confusion during these periods. ER dctors & my CPC have NO solution. Fecal samples, urine & blood, cultures, the usual medications for such runny bowl movements--nothing. Tonight, extreme chest pain, put a nitro under my tongue, sat down until pain & dizziness & sensation of passing out passed.
