Loose, mushy stools, often floating, and lots of flatulence (PHOTO)

I am 24, and for the past few years I've been dealing with loose, mushy stools a couple times per day, along with lots of gas and being bloated. I've been to multiple doctors and had various tests, including two gastroscopies, one colonoscopy, blood tests, stool tests, lactulose hydrogen test... etc.

I eat quite healthy. Veggies, some rice, some noodles, fish & light meat (chicken, turkey), sometimes a sandwich. Coeliacs & gluten intolerance have been technically ruled out. I don't consume dairy.

But no matter what I eat, I am always gassy and almost always have that loose stools.

I've taken probiotics, motility supporters (trimebutine), I've tried xifaxan and metronidazole, fibre, pyrantelum (in case if it were parasites), but none of those worked. I took an expensive blood test to check for food intolerances, and I only seem to not tolerate tapioca which I do not eat anyways. NOTHING helps. Seriously I don't know what to do anymore, I am 24 and barely leave the house. I have no social life and I don't work and I need to get a job soon. I can't imagine working in a 9-5 office job with my issues. Especially that when I need to poop, I get extremely gassy, farting every 30 seconds, until I empty my bowels (and sometimes I struggle with feeling as if I didn't empty them fully, too).
