What Causes Pain In Left Upper Quadrant Of Abdomen And Diarrhoea Alternatively?

I have had a left upper quadrant pain off and on for 4 months. It is a collicky pain. I have had intermittent diahhrea as well. It seems the pain hurts more when I am regular and less with diahhrea. I have had an abdominal ultra sound and a HIDA scan both normal. Did massive amounts of stool samples also normal. Blood work is normal. Can t afford a colonoscopy right now. Any ideas?
