Is it normal to have stomach pains like this?

I have uncomfortable stomach pains, gas, and cramps every day, and poop at least 3 times a day. I think it might be IBS but I never heard of anyone else going through what I experience, and I know it's not normal. The pain goes away after pooping but always comes back a few hours later. This is hurting the quality of my life. I'm afraid to leave my house unless I have to because I'm scared my stomach might act up. At work I can't concentrate or ever be happy. I try cutting down on what I eat and often skip lunch so that I feel lighter and emptier. It helps sometimes. I poop before bed but then I often have to poop again at like 3 in the morning. It's also affecting my sleep. I thought I had some kind of stomach virus but my doctor says this is all caused by stress, so he is completely unhelpful.

    I get sharp stabing pains in my stomach, especially when I'm being stabed.

      all my doctor said is that it's caused by stress. he even performed a colonoscopy on me and apparently found nothing. he isn't helping me at all.

        See another doctor. Are you in fact stressed? Apart from your response to what's going on with your bowels?

    It's probably a food intolerance or allergy. Even fake sugar can cause this. Doctors are terrible listeners you should look into food allergies and similar yourself. The most common ones are dairy, wheat, soy, et. And fake sugar if you drink diet soda or gum. It's not normal to feel like this so please keep looking till you find out what's wrong. Ps try a few doctors because most of them ain't worth shit( pun intended)
