Unknown disorder for 4 years - digestive/muscle problems

Hi there, so I've had this disorder for 4 years now. When it started I was pretty sure that I had IBS. My intestines would make rumbling noises 24/7 and I was paler than a white wall. Never felt any pain though which led me to believe that I must have a different disorder. 

For almost 2 years I couldn't workout or do any physical activities, I felt so weak.

Then I slowly tried to workout in the gym again.

Until today I still have the same problem when I workout my legs and my back.

Doing this causes my intestines to stop working properly. It's the worst when I have DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) on my upper legs and my back. Also for a very long time my lower back felt like jelly when working out. I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how to describe this in any other way. Also generally walking or talking/yelling which involves the use of belly/back muscles would make the condition worse.

I'm recovering very slowly, it definitely feels better than 2 years ago, but if it continues at this pace, it will take another 3 or 5 years till I have recovered at least 80%.

I've tried taking epsom salts, magnesium and red light therapy but nothing seemed to improve my condition. 

Anyone else having similar issues??
