Thanks for your response. I am going to get some time on the books with the gastro since this pain just keeps happening and now I find myself unable to go to work this morning because it persists. I thought the same thing about
a blockage not being the case since I am able to go but I kind of forgot about
the strictures so that is a great point. As for the kidney stones, it is a tough one. I had several stones 4mm +that I have had to have surgically removed in the past and or blasted. I have had 5 procedures for them with stents and all. The ones I am passing now are small because I am drinking a lot of water which is good because it keeps them from sticking together and making larger stones....but it is not keeping me from making them. I am on urologist #3 trying to get to the bottom of what is causing it. One big issue is that I do have celiac that went undiagnosed for 27 years and left me with a ton of damage in my small intestines that never fully repaired but as far as all my recent tests for that have gone it is stable in that it has not gotten worse per the biopsies. Maybe it is just me getting old and my body not being able to handle things as well anymore. Sigh...but getting older is a blessing
