No idea what’s going on with me
Posted , 1 user is following.
I've had worrisome bowel changes for five months. Stool is constantly different from floaty bile-ish looking stool to only mucous.
I had a CT scheduled but it was days after a vacation where I took anti diarrhea meds so naturally the results could have been skewed or maybe constipation for months is really the problem.. History includes gallbladder removal and a couple bouts of pancreatitis over the years. Fatty liver at one point years ago. Overweight middle aged female.
CT results
"There is no bowel obstruction or
inflammation. There is moderate retained colonic stool. There are prominent perirectal lymph nodes, nonspecific. The largest node measures approximately 8 mm in short
axis dimension."
Xray 10 days later still showed some stool so I cleaned it out with a bottle magnesium citrate.
CBC mostly normal
Albumin 3.4
fecal fat was normal
pancreatic elastase <10 but they want a retest
calprotectin 1010
Not losing weight
Take miralax daily and eat fiber gummies.
Waiting for a colonoscopy to see where the inflammation is coming from. My worry is that it will just be inflammation with no known cause.
Its all just frustrating and quite annoying interrupting my life as I have to plan around always being close to a bathroom.
