Brief Answer:
If all the tests are negative, consider autoimmune disorder or IBS

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone through the query and understand your concern.

You have mentioned that all the tests have come out clear, could you upload these reports so that I can have a look and can guide you better.

If, all the tests are negative, then it is highly unlikely that there is any organic disease. It is either due to Irritable bowel syndrome (a psychosomatic disorder), or it could be an imbalance of gut microbiome, or it could be an autoimmune disorder like Chron's disease.

Please consult a gastroenterologist with all the reports and get a colonoscopy and biopsy of the colon done to find out the exact type of disease.

The treatment will depend on the accurate diagnosis.

I hope this answers your query, feel free to write back if you have any doubts.

Best wishes.

Hi if you could send me your contact number we can speak more thoroughly on what he should do, he has done enough blood tests, stool tests etc so now he doesn't want to do them again considering he has done it

Please upload the available reports.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs, XXXXXXX

Thank you for writing back.

I am sorry, it is against company policy to give out phone numbers directly, you can however send a mail to the customer care and ask them to connect a phone call.

Please upload whatever reports are already available with you, I will go through them and suggest the future course of action accordingly.

Best regards
