Hi,

Symptoms you have mention here are suggestive of IBS. But as there is no findings of it in your investigations, you have to continue the prescribed medication for prescribed time.
IBS has no cure and has symptomatic treatment only. Take high fiber diet, Avoid milk if lactose intolerant. At least 30 minutes of strenuous exercise 5 times a week is recommended.
