What did they say about your pancreas?  Sometimes, it does not produce proper enzymes, therefore causing inability for you to properly absorb food and convert proteins into amino acids, which can be a huge problem.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  That would be important too.  If your gastro doc doesn't figure out what's wrong, you should seek an integrative medicine doctor or a type of holistic doc.  They typically will run tests other doctors won't and look at things a little differently also.  They can treat the whole body, not just one part.  It would definitely be worth it.  More than anything, don't give up.  I know it's hard when you are sick but don't give up.  If you aren't happy with one doctor, find another one and continue until you find one that helps you and one that you feel comfortable with.
