Celiac tests are not always accurate and can give false negatives. However, if all your tests show nothing it is likely its is IBS. If a gluten free diet helped you, you may be sensitive to gluten as well.
Has any doctor mentioned Irritable Bowel? It takes an exhaustive amount of testing to diagnose it. It took me three and a half months and eight doctors to find out that I had IBS. By that time, I was in despair and begging for any diagnosis at all if only for an end to panic and pain.

Dairy can be a trigger.
Also be aware ibs can be a symptom of other things like chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia etc.
Complex fibres can also be a trigger. The more fruit and veg I eat the worse my symptoms are. Nuts are also another one as it takes a lot to digest them and the stomach gets stressed and starts ibs symptoms.
Try removing one thing at a time and see which help.
