Bowel disorder

I am a 37 year old male who has been suffering with some kind of bowel disorder going on 12 years now. My symptoms are: abdominal pain, mostly on my right but sometimes both sides, constipation but when i do have my BM it is mucusy (hardly ever a normal brown) floats and is often an orangeish color or a sickly green.  In some instances I have a significant amount of blood in my stool--after drinking alcohol--which always seems to irritate my bowels for about 2-3 days after consuming.  I also have a "trapped gas" feeling which is daily, no matter what I do.  My abdominal pain seems to radiate around to my lower back which then shoots up to my shoulder causing me an achiness almost like a pulled muscle. My symptoms have gotten worse over the past few years.  A few years ago I saw a Gastroenterologist and they did a colonoscopy on me which showed nothing.  They tested for cancer and it showed nothing.  I have done a glucose test which tested a little high but nothing to be worried about.  The Doctor seemed confused and I decided to stop seeing him.  I saw a Dr for my back, he did an MRI and found that I had a herniation in my L5.  He thought that it could be the back causing my stomach/bowel issue.  Mentioned it could have something to do w/an Ileus.  I have not been to see anyone since but I am definitely determined to find a solution to my problem b/c it is NOT going away.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance
Jason
