for 5 years and recently diagnosed with Diverticulosis and IBS. I have been having this issue though for the past year or so. I have random bouts of yellow
. Sometimes when I go to the bathroom, which is hardly ever firm, some of the stool will stick to the bowl. I also have random pain, just below my ribs
and sometimes it feels like it wraps around to my back just under the ribs. I also get slightly nauseous. I have mentioned all this to my GI but he just tells me it's my acid reflux and to increase my Prilosec. However, I don't feel it's just the acid reflux. I am just confused because if it is pancreatitis, even acute, wouldn't I have more pain? The pain I feel is relatively mild and it happens for a few days then goes away. Btw, I am not a big alcohol drinker - maybe a couple drinks on the weekends. I try to restrict my drinking because I am on 6mp. I get my liver and CBC checked every 3 years and the blood tests always come back normal.
Does this sound like something I should pursue with my doctor? Or could it just be acid reflux??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
