Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. 30 years is a long time to suffer from intestinal spasm. This has to be IBS as all your tests are normal, and you have a problem with the stress as you have mentioned. I would suggest you the following:If a road to the destination has a problem, change the roué. The meaning here is just change the daily situations you are in. Go for a long vacation and change the life-style, in fact change everything which you must have noticed that gives you stress, and probably you will be alright for lifetime.
