How does fiber make your stomach problems worse?
You could consider adding calcium supplements to help your diarrhea. This encourages your large intestine to absorb water back naturally, helping your stools to become more bulky, thus reducing stomach pains also.
Sometimes acid reducers do not work, or may work for a short period and then stop, because you may not have too much acid in your stomach, but rather the opposite. Also, depending on what other medication you have taken in the past, IBS and stomach symptoms can be caused by leaky gut, where the gut lets certain substances through which it should not do, due to increased permeability due to some inflammation.
I would suggest that you maybe go and see either a Naturopathic Doc or a Nutritional Therapist. Either of these two would be able to test your stomach acid to see whether it is in fact too acid or too alkaline and you could need some digestive enzymes if these are indicated.
Anyway, give it a go and see. You have nothing to lose and you may feel better.
Good luck
