Long-term stomach pain and diarrhea anyone?

I am almost 2 years post op. Since January I have been having severe intestinal/tummy problems and have only been eating scrambled egg for breakfast, some beef jerky and s/f popsicles. I cannot eat anything solid - severe pain and explosive diarrhea. I also have a great deal of gas. The good part is I lost 14 lbs in 10 days, bad was the diet sucked and I was dehydrated. Once I could get some liquid down, some of that weight came back. So far I have had X-rays, stool sample tests, blood tests and a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. I still cannot eat anything of substance. In fact, I have resorted to Gatorade, chicken broth and will try some Zerocarb Isopure today. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy next week. I have had intestinal/IBS problems since I was a teenager but don't remember getting to the point I couldn't eat for 2 months. I have been taking Pamine Forte, Zantac, Gas-X, phenegran, with little help. Has this happened to anyone else and what was the outcome? I haven't seen my WLS doc since the week before this began. He was supposed to get back to me regarding my limited weight loss but of course I have heard nothing. He was going to check with other docs and an endocrinologist for ideas. I exercise, and up until I got sick, was eating about 500 cals a day (his recommendation from my prior visit) but still the weight maintained. I am scheduled to see him April 16. Any advise/support would be welcome.
