i need some answers

Sorry if I shouldnt be here posting but im trying to eliminate everything.
Ive had problems with my stomach for about 4 years now. Drs have said they think its IBS. I have had a horrible flare up of something for the past 6 weeks. With Diarreah mainly in the mornings with bad stomach cramps and wind. When i have emptied my bowels im usually semi ok.
but this just will NOT go away. I'm off work, my life is severly comprimised. I dont want to go out, im in pain and uncomfortable.
I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy a week ago, they came back clear. All my abdo bloods and my poo tests have come back normal too. But im losing weight because im consuming around 600 calories a day. I had a HIDA scan done 34 yrs ago and that was normal (then) too. But my poo is a yellow colour instead of brown. its always a mustard yellow colour.
Sometimes i get indigestion after eating something too heavy. I have acid reflux too from the hiatus hernia.
I personally think I have a problem with my gall bladder but none of the dr seem to think so because im not having the familiar "gall bladder" attacks.
I just know this is making me very depressed, i have no life. Can anyone shed some light for me please?
TIA

Your poo is yellow because you're producing excess bile. IBS-D is a catch-all diagnosis given by doctors when patients have persistent diarrhea, and they can't be bothered to find out what's going on.
You could be having gallbladder problems, such as gallstones. Lots of people don't present with the "classic" symptoms GP's like to see. You could also have bile salt malabsorption. The body produces a hormone that allows the bile to e absorbed at the end of the digestive process. Sometimes people stop producing it for unknown reasons.
If you're seeing GP's get yourself to a gastroenterologist! Your poo tests are coming back normal because they're only testing the poo, not the bile around it. You need an ultrasound of your gallbladder to check for the thickness of its walls and whether or not you have gallstones. If no gallstones are visible, you might need further tests. xx

Remove gallbladder. They told me that for 5 years my doctors said gallbladdersfine and 1 took it out it wasn't it was very bad.
Check your pancreas They can do a scan just make sure I have no tumors on it . I BE means they dont know what you.
Maybe you have Crohns Disease.That means your intestines are always inflamed .I would check my pancreas .

It doesn't work that way when you have Juandice It's usually in the later stages I truthfully don't think it's your pancreas because you will have pain on the left sides of your abdomen .Is probably Your gallbladder It's probably 99% of your gallbladder .If it's your pancreas you will be in so much pain you will even be able to move for days and you'd be throwing up and having a fever non stop .Do you drink alcohol a lot

What kind of Drs are you seeing. The think it's something. Suggest you go to a whole different medical group and new Drs. You need help. You sure are not getting the help you need with your present doctors. Sorry hope someone can help.
