Chronic bloating and diarrhea

[xapar43]

Hi,

I'm a 30-year old guy who practices bodybuilding regularly and has an ordinary professional life. 
I have suffered since childhood from bloating that got worse over the years. The closer to the evening, the more I feel like burping and farting.

I also need to defecate more than once a day, and the stool is rarely hard. 
There are foods that trigger this process more than others, but it's basically impossible to feel free from pain and bloating.

I've undergone all the possible tests: 
-gastroscopy and colonoscopy: nothing found. 
-stool tests: nothing found. 
-breath tests for lactose deficiency: positive, but I stopped ingesting dairy products years ago and the problem persists.
-blood tests for celiac disease: nothing found. 
-SIBO test: positive, but the antibiotic treatment (10 days of Xifaxan) led to zero results.

Doctors get rid of the problem by stating that it's IBS and cannot be fully treated, but since I'm still young, I want to try to find a solution, even if I have to take meds every day. This is massively impacting my quality of life.

Many thanks in advance to any suggestion or advice.

I have a similar problem but I have liquid stools (diarrhoea) I don't know the exact answer all I can suggest is to try some probiotics, might help.
