Help Me Please!! Confused :( Posted: 05-31-06 23:38pm
I have been having stomach pain for about
a year now, and i'm a 20 yr old male. I
drank pretty heavily (beer) for about 3
years. Ever since I started having the
stomach pain I have stopped drinking. I
constantly hurt everyday, and as soon as I
get done eating I start belching alot and
have excessive gas. It hurts right around
my belly button mostly but it goes to my
back and sometimes left and right sides.
I have had a abdominal x-ray, barium ct
scan of abdomen (without the dye),
complete abdominal ultrasound, and amylase
blood test. All was normal. I just had
an upper gi done and waiting on results.
About a month ago I was hurting severely
bad and had a low grade fever and felt
really really sick, I had excrusiating
pain all around my belly button but it
went away after about a day and half. Out
of all the tests that I have had done can
there be any possible way that I have
chronic pancreatitis and they just haven't
found it, considering my amylase blood
levels were normal???????????? Thanks for
any advice and god bless..Also when this
started I weighed 180lbs and now I weigh
160lbs, I dont know if it has to do with
not drinking or what. My stools are often
pale looking, and seem to be greasy like
looking. Is the belching and excessive
gas a symptom of chronic
pancreatitis?????
You think this could be gallbladder or
pancrease related??

Nausea, vomiting, gas and flatulence,
weightloss and fatty stools are all signs
of pancreatitis. However, if you have had
all those tests, especially serum amylase,
and ct scans, it is doubtful for chronic
pancreatitis to go undetected.
Gallbladder diseases usually causes pain
after eating in the right upper abdomen.
That would have been detected by
ultrasound. Maybe you have a stomach or
bowel problem rather than your pancreas or
gallbladder. Hope this helps.
