Left Side Pain going on for almost 18 years now 26 I need help...

Ok let me start from the begining. When I was about 8 I got this sharp pain in my lower left side almost at my hip. I could hear some really nasty growls as something (air or water) was trying to get through but couldnt break through that side. It felt litterly as though someone had a knife going through my side. I mean I litterly think sometimes my stomach is going to explode I lay on the floor roll over and over. Litterly I would cry but it hurts to bad to even do that. Finally the bowel seems to break through the blockage. Then I run to the restroom and tons of mostly yellowish dirraeah comes out Then I'm relieved from all the pain.

Turns out 18  years later it still ocasionally happens.  Some foods cause if more than other's. My stomach is always gurgling from left hip side to right hip side. The air cant seem to get out. or it just sounds like water is just bubbling in those two areas. I don't hardly ever burp as no air wants to come up. So i sent here all day gurgling and growling, and stomach feeling like's it just moving or even having spasms in the lower instense, colon area,. behind the bladder etc. But mostly the gurgling stays in the two hip areas just like it always has water in those areas.

I can't eat cake, sodas,  subs, pizza's, and just about anything anymore. or Im doomed to fall in the floor with another bout. It seems I'm running out of things to eat. I'm scared to even touch new food or try new food, and the old food is starting to upset whatever it is as well. So basically my life is going downhill fast.

And the growling and gurgling sounds is just to much that alone is ruining my life. I wish they would go away more than anything. I bet they could be heard over a jet engine. Mostly these days my stools are yellow mustard color., they range from being normal to soft to runny. Just changes around.

I've went to the hospital when I was around 22 he laughed at me, and told me it was all in my head.  Did a regular xray and said he didnt see anything wrong in those areas. He excused it as constipation.. I didnt think it was funny.

So what could be causing this type of problem anyone with any similiar expierence's? I've made a appointment with my regular doc this Friday to see what he says, cause around here you have to be referred to a GI.

Thanks everyone who could help me try to figure this out. And what maybe I should ask him to all check for.

Well I went to the doctor. He didn't give me anything just told me I may have some Diverticulosis.. Basically said wait till it's inflamed, and hurts for days. Then come back and see him. Didn't run any test or nothing.  But does that cause yellow runny stools? Could my smoking alot cause yellow stools? And my stomach is still rumbling and making all kinds of noises. I mean loud what can I do?
