The body changes all the time. When I was young I had really bad allergies in the fall and spring, but by the time I was 20 they both stopped. Granted thats when my food allergies kicked in, but you know what I mean.
Your doctor may be able to do the food allergy tests, I'm not sure, you'd have to ask (just call and ask, dont waste $ on an appt if he/she doesnt).
Try Vanilla Almond Milk, its actually really good. I use it in my cereal every day and I can actually drink a glass of it (dont feel the same about soy milk).

Celiac Disease is the worst form of a gluten allergy, but they should have seen signs of that through the end/colonoscopy. But, that doesn't mean you don't have a gluten sensitivity, so asking about it is definitely something you should do.
I don't know if a gastroenterologist can test for food allergies, I went to a an allergy doctor to get tested.
Try eating something different for breakfast. You say you get sick every day, maybe you are allergic to eggs and thats what is making you sick? I'm saying you are so dont freak out, but try something else. Have some cereal (with almond milk) and see how you feel.

Did they do an endoscopy (upper GI)? My suggestion is to have a food diary and document everything you eat and how it makes your stomach feel, and if/when you go to the bathroom, what type of bowel movement it was.
Did they check you for food allergies? Gluten allergy in particular?
Let me ask you this, you know you are lactose intolerant, are you checking all your food labels to make sure milk isnt used to make it? Some breads use dairy, cereals, and plenty of other products where you wouldnt think milk is in it.
But do the food diary and see what type of foods/drinks mess with your stomach.
The colonoscopy should have been able to tell you if you had chrons or ulceritive colitis, which would be my guesses, but if the dr says u dont have those, i have to think maybe its a food allergy.

i also hear the sound when your hungry all the time even if im full and it sounds a little different but very loud and the they told me that its was all in head also like if it was in my head i wouldve tried to get rid of it somehow im not going crazy or anything im just tired of making appointments waiting an hour jst so can talk to me for 5 mins and give me another type of medicine ...
and since im lactose intolerant i dont eat anything containing milk or it would make it worse
i know something is not right in my stomache or somewhere in between but ask me anything u would like to know to give me a better answer ..

when they say you have IBS its usually just a blanket diagnosis cuz they dont know for sure what the problem is. Is school a nerve racking experience for you? If so, was it nerve racking before you started getting sick?
When you are sick in the morning, is it as soon as you wake up? Or after you eat/drink something?
