Severe Constipation/Bloating

Hello I've been suffering severe constipation/bloating/gas/neasuea/vomitting for 3 years now and I'm really not sure what to do at this point because it's gotten so bad that I have to take a ton of laxatives and stool softeners to have a bowel movement. I have to take very large doses of these laxatives/stool softeners because if I don't then I won't have a bowel movement. I've had to limit my use of these medications because I will throw up blood from in assuming taking too much. I have been in and out of the hospital several times last year and I almost didn't graduate high school because I had to miss so much school constantly being in the hospital. The hospital found nothing wrong and made little effort to try to help me. They gave me a bunch of tests that came back normal and now after being in the hospital and seeing several different gastro doctors and having no luck finding a cause of the problem/ no diagnosis, my issues have now gotten worse and my family cannot afford any more visits. I'm not sure what to do at this point because I'm in so much pain everyday. I try to use enemas, but the liquid doesn't always come out and I end up getting horrific pain. I've lost overall 100 pounds within a year and I'm having to eat less 1-2 meals a day because I'm afraid to eat now. Sometimes I won't eat all day but only drink water because I don't want to put more in my stomach. I have so much gas that I can burp non stop for 10-15 mins every so often throughout the day. I've been put on so many different medications that haven't helped and I'm trying not to lose hope but I'm not able to have a job because of the pain. I don't know what to do.

I forgot to mention I have a rapid pulsating beat right above my belly button. I'm not sure what that is but it feels like an extremely fast heart beat.
