I KNOW how frustrating these drs can be, I have had IBS since I was 15, I'll be 34 in a couple of weeks and I've seen a bunch of different so called specialist!
I have had the colonoscopy, an abdominal ultrasound, upperGI, small bowel work up with follow through (the one where you drink all that barium, yum  ) every x-ray, scan and scope that there is! They have never found anything "wrong" with me!!! I too, suffer a lot of pain. I have been on the diet for 1.5 years and things have improved some but I still suffer from gas, bloating and pain.
I also have anxiety and depression issues. I do find taking Wellbutrin (an anti-depressant) helps my tummy also. I have tried every anti-spasm drug, like the Librax, Bentyl, Levsin and none of them help me. Taking Heathers peppermint caps provide some relief sometimes.
I also have problems sleeping and will use Xanax, its an anti-anxiety and makes me sleepy. Try sleeping with a heating pad on your tummy, that helps me the most. I know it says on the directions not to do that but I put my heating pad in a pillow case and leave it on all night and its sometimes the only relief I can get on a real bad day!
I hope the drs do some tests on you to rule out other problems. Taking your dad with you does sound like a good idea! Hope you feel better soon!
