Welcome to the forum! Usually I will bow to a vet since they have all the training I do not! However, this is obviously a digestive issue. First of all -- I'd stay away from Purina! They are having severe issues with their food poisoning and killing cats and dogs. I would switch to another higher-quality brand for urinary issues. You might want to check out Royal Canin, and I believe you would need a prescription from your vet.
Just know this ... your kitty is not happy! Imagine if you were having this issue. The key here is the food goes in the mouth and the stomach works to break up the food to be absorbed in the small intestine, then the waste goes into the large intestine and out the body. Something is going in somewhere. It appears all the right tests were run by the vet. Unfortunately, something like Irritable Bowel Disease isn't readily found in any of the tests. However, your kitty was having urinary tract issues, too. Cats have a nice stream of urine when they pee. A cat who struggles to pee and poop is having issues -- really big issues! It is not uncommon to have these once in a blue moon, but continuously -- there is something going on.
Naturally, I would start with the food! Whatever is going into your kitty has to come out of your kitty! So, I would suggest chasing to a different wet food and see if that helps. Make sure your kitty is drinking a lot of water to flush out the kidneys and produce urine.
If these issues continue after trying some new wet food, I might try a different vet and see if you can find one who specializes in gastro-intestinal issues. I know you have already spent a ton of money on your baby, but if things are not getting better, then that's where I'd go. Note, most can get your kitty's test records from your current vet, so the tests do not have to be run again, but a second opinion is what may be needed here. Good luck.
