For 2 mths I've had digestive issues.
-Had bloating for 1 wk. After the bloating ceased, I had extreme lower back pain that lasted through the wknd.
-Around the time the back pain went away I had URQ discomfort and diarrhea. The discomfort had a sensation of a golf ball under my ribs when I would lay down. Sometimes the pain would shoot up my back and under my shoulder blade. After a wk with this I went to the ER.
-At the ER I received lab work of my blood, urine, US and CT. Everything came back fine and the US was clear. The CT came back neg. for any stones and all that was found was diverticulosis. The diverticula was not infected. The only organ they couldn't really see was my pancreas.
-I was given a Dx of Gastritis, a Rx of Prilosec (15 days) and a dose of Mylanta. The Mylanta took away the discomfort right away. The URQ pain was still there from time to time but not as bad. My diarrhea and loose stools were still present. All of the diarrhea/loose stool was yellow and never had blood in it.
-For the next 2 wks I still had URQ discomfort that seemed to get worse after eating fatty/greasy foods. My stools still weren't normal, although I did pass a few normal stools. These normal stools were still a yellow color.
-I've lost 10lbs. No one seems concerned about this.
-At the GI I was tested for Celiac, Thyroid, H Pylori and Sed Rate. I was sent for a HIDA Scan and am due for a Glucose test next wk. All came back normal. I was given a Fecal Kit to take home. I was having normal movements for about 3 wks before seeing the dr.
-I am now having the URQ discomfort along with left side discomfort and mid to upper back pain that reaches both of my shoulder blades. Loose stools are back.
My concern here is that no one seems to know what's wrong with me. I'm scared I could have some type of cancer and that no one is going to catch it because I'm too young (26). What do you think?
