I can NOT live like this anymore!!

I have had this problem for over 6 months now and I and ALL the doctors I have seen do NOT know what is wrong with me!
My symptoms and as follows and occur RIGHT before my monthly menstrual cycle (when this ends my MC starts):
1.) Starts with "rotten egg burps" in the morning afternoon can start whenever no reasons I can tell
2.) After about 3-5 hours I bloat up like I am 9 months pregnant and it hurts bad!
3.) As the bloating starts I get very loose stool "uncontrollable" almost
4.) After anywhere from 24-96 hours I vomit for an hour or so off and on
5.) The vomiting stops then the Diarrhea, then the "eggy" burps and about 5-6 hours later my bloating subsides

Through it all I am VERY tired and weak
.
I have had the following procedures done with the same outcome every time which is normal:
1.) Massive amounts of blood work
2.) Ultrasound for gallbladder
3.) Hida scan with injection fraction
4.) CT scan of abdomen and pelvis

I have an upper and lower endoscopy scheduled for 7 Nov. and pray something comes from that. The doctors are all stumped as to what it could be after ruling out my gallbladder. Does anyone have any ideas? Please help it is now interfering with my husband job in the Army (he is now deemed un-deployable) My kids have to go without mommy for 1-4days ect. ect. I want this to stop!

Also I have been getting headaches more frequently and they are more severe. I don't know if there is any connection.

Please ANYONE with ANY advice please comment!

It might help to have a complete hystorectomy.  If your determined to get rid of this on going torture, your gynocologist will understand.  God bless you Rachel.

I had similar problems.  Every month, right before my period, I would get so sick that I ended up in the hospital every time.  Turned out it was my bladder spasming and causing all the problems.  So if your GI workup doesn't pan out for you, it's something to think about.  Some people are more sensitive to this type of pain than others.
