OK--chime in with the test you think would check this!

Per GI, my labs and scopes all show "no active inflammation".  Pain is dead center  parallel to my last rib.  So upper GI or pill cam????  Since the colonoscopy and upper endoscopy show nothing.

PS I do have reflux issues, but this has shown up again now despite a good reflux med that works otherwise.  Eating irritates it, especially more fibrous food (thinking narrowing)

Getting ready to call for appointment with new (actually prior GI) or push my current GI to look further and want to ask if they would consider either of these tests.

pill cam is my vote.

I have had every kind of test there is over the past 35 years of Crohn's. The past two yrs have been a nightmare. Three endos, two upper gi, two colos ,two abdominal series no prep or contrast and a cat scan that was inconclusive. Dr told spouse each time that everything was normal. Last Endo was told it was phantom pain or scar tissue. Finally had to demand a CAT with and without contrast. Called me next morn. To tell me that I has extensive involvement in both my large and small intestines. Asked me which hospital I preferred to be admitted to or could I handle 60mg pred./day for 14days when my dr. Had an open apt in office. I picked the home treatment. I would have a cat scan with and without contrast first . If it is yr gallbladder you will know it. The pain is unbearable and alot of times involves vomiting violently. It took me 18 mos to convince my dr to test for gallbladder. Again having to demand hida scan. Had gall bladder removed the next am. What ever test you go with be relentless in your search for answers. Your doctor doesn't have to live with the pain you are having-you do. There is also an Enteroscopy. This looks for inflammation and strictures in upper gi and small intestines. Join that site on TV from abbvie. They have some new ideas. Good luck. The older you get the more the doctors will dismiss you. Be strong and make them find out what is going on. Remember doctors are service personnel. They preforms a service and get paid very well for that service. Just like the teenager at the McDonald's take out window.
