Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

30 years is a long time to suffer from intestinal spasm.
This has to be IBS as all your tests are normal and you have a problem with the stress as you have mentioned. I would suggest you the following:
If a road to the destination has a problem , change the roue.
The meaning here is just change the daily situations you are in. Go for a long vacation and change the life-style, in fact change everything which you must have noticed that gives you stress and probably you will be alright for lifetime.
I find this answer helpful
