Depends on cause: The tests you've done have not found the cause but many causes won't show up on these tests. Possible causes include food allergies (like gluten), heavy metal toxicity, chronic viral infections, depression, nutrient deficiencies etc. See a good integrative Dr. who can assess for these. Relaxation techniques like mindfulness mediation may help, as can acupuncture and constitutional homeopathy.
