Hello and welcome to the forum!
These are all symtoms that need to be addressed by a GI. The symptoms do sound like they could be IBD related, but only the proper tests will show for sure. Have you noticed certain foods bothering you more than others? Are these flares your having during stressful periods in your life? I am going to give you the link to the undiagnosed club, they might be able to help you more with what you are going through

Sorry you are suffering. I also have been having issues for the last couple years with intestinal pain that can be severe. I guess seeing a gastro doc would be a good idea in your case. I mean It could be crohns, or it could be IBS or even something else. There is no way to tell. Have you switched your diet at all? I would try altering your diet to a more bland easy to digest diet to see if it helps at all( eat baked foods, No fried. Also when you eat vegis, eat ones that are cooked very well. If you eat fruits, maybe put them through a blender first so they are easier to digest.). Hope you get some relief soon.
