I am no doctor but I had an abdominal ultrasound that showed scarring on my liver due to NAFLD, but I am on a lot of medications myself. I was told that I would develop cirroshos of the liver if it did not get under control.
I hope your tests go well on Friday and you find out what is causing your probs.
I have problems with milk too, but I mainly just get bloated from it. I don't have diarrhoea any more though. I have not had diarrhoea in a while. Now I seem to mostly get constipated.
Wouldn't I have already had my gallbladder checked though from my other tests? I had 2 CT scans, one concentrated on the gallbladder as the doctors initially thought I had something wrong with my gallbladder before they found the inflammation in my colon, plus I had the labelled white blood cell scan which was mainly to check my pancreas but I was told gallbladder/liver problems would have showed up on it too as the scan shows areas of inflammation and there was no inflammation found.
I posted the original post a while back so I guess I should give a bit of an update. I did go to my GP recently about the chest and shoulder pain I have and he said he thinks its muscular, though I still have the pain! Its not so bad, but its annoying. I'm not sure if I should go back or not.
Thanks for the reply and take care.
Have you considered Gall Bladder disease? Long ago I had those exact syptoms and they treated me for dueodenal (sp) ulcers and a Hidal (sp) hernia with Tagamet, then Pepcid, then Prilosec, and finally Zantac. What seemed to solve the problem was dropping milk protein from my diet. But, when all that was going on an Urgent Care doc told me he thought it was my gall bladder, not really an allergy, since most dairy comes with a lot of fat. Well, here I am 10 years later traveling the path to validate Gall Bladder disease. I get the HIDAA on Friday -- my money's on "low ejection factor." Moral of the story -- check the Gall Bladder and go beyond the screening sono.
I forgot to ask, are CT scans good at diagnosing liver problems or should I have an ultrasound? thanks.
