I had this kind of stomach pain and I discovered that it was caused by a medicine that I was using in that moment. Moreover, the stomach pain used to come together with breathless, like ashma. This really scared me... I hope you discover soon which are the causes for your alergic reactions.... Sometimes when I take another kind of medicine this reactions come back... :(

Have you ever tried cutting out dairy or gluten from your diet?

I know now that cow's milk bothers me but only through stinky gas (and yes you needed to know that) and also increased the muscous and asthma symptoms.  I am now limiting milk (love cheese and ice cream too much to completely cut it out) and even the random stomach pains (very mild and spordaic) are completely gone.

I have heard there might be a link between cediac disease (intolerance to gluten) and IBS.  It is very hard to completely cut out gluten but is worth a try if nothing else is working.

Omega 3 and probiotic supplements may help by soothing the immune system and increasing your good bacteria in your gut.  

Slipperly elm bark is suppose to be an awesome gut soother that is completely natural but I don't know that much about it.  Worth some research into it.
