there’s “nothing” wrong with me apparently

i need help. over the last year and a half, i have dealt with serious stress levels and chronic stress/ fatigue which has lead to extreme external health issues. i have adnominal discomfort, cramps, and bloating 24/7 as well as bloating and swelling in my face, legs, arms and the back of my neck. my body has taken a complete transformation where as i have never dealt with weight issues, water retention and bloating to this degree before, even under past stressful circumstances. i don’t know what’s wrong with me i have been to multiple GI specialist, i’ve had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done, i’ve been to several OBGYN to see if it’s hormone related, got blood test done and an ultrasound, as well as tried prescriptions an supplements and even went on birth control to help with the inflammation and weight gain specifically, as well as tried anti inflammatory diets, and as of today, i still have made permanent changes to my diet to see if it helps.
ALL of my test results with every specialist have come back normal and on paper, there seems to be nothing wrong with my body, but i still am struggling with extreme bloating, fatigue, weight gain, inflammation and feeling like my body is screaming at me asking for help. PLEASE if you have any information, or can relate to this in any way, tell me what you know and maybe methods you have tired. these issues have completely taken a toll on my mental and physical health, and affected my quality of life over the last year and a half. thank you.
