Why do I still have abdominal pain?

For the past few years I have been experiencing abdominal pains. It typically moves all over my abdomen, and it comes and goes rather quickly. It usually begins as a sharp pain and then lessens into a crampy feeling. It is also usually accompanied by diarrhea. I have been to the ER where I was told it was from ovarian cysts (they burst on there own and the pain continued). I have been to my primary Doctor where I was diagnosed with IBS and was given prescriptions to help with the pain (Didn't work). I have also been to a specialist (gastro) who only told me to see a therapist to deal with the pain. It's gotten to the point where I don't even see a point in going to the doctors anymore for it. It's easier to just deal with the pain when it happens. Especially since it only lasts a few minutes at a time. By the time I get to the ER the pain is over and I'm being discharged. This is my last resort. Do any of you have any idea as to what this could be?
