I have similar family history and similar symptoms. For like 7 years, I get the same pain you described. Mine is cramping, and it only happens like once a month, but these episodes have lasted up to 6 hours. Colonoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasounds, all clear, blood tests normal. I think the GI tract specifically is very prone to misbehaving. I have a muscle relaxer prescription I take when I feel the cramp starting, but it doesn't help a ton, I just like having it for the peace of mind. It's just lame that nobody seems to have an answer besides "IBS, eat less meat." I wish I could know what's actually happening
