New onset of epigastric pain...don't know where it's coming from

So, I'm back...unfortunately :-( after my stay at the hospital where all my results came back normal, despite all my symptoms poiting at pancreas, I started taking sugestive enzymes and I had about a month of relief - less pain, better digestion, etc. However, some 2 weeks ago, I started having GI problems all over again: onsets of strong epigastric pain, had diarrhea for about a week, gases, now I'm starting to get back pains again. Don't know what to do and don't know what's causing the pain. I had really everything done at the hospital: MRI, MRCP, CT, EUS, colonoscopy and endoscopy, bloodwork...you name it. Everything except HIDA scan. Don't know what to do to help myself...please suggest if you have an idea!

    Yup, there are 3 types of SOD and type 3 can present itself without duct dillatation or increased enzymes in blood. SOD can also have different manifestations when it comes to pain: it can either give more gallbladder pain or more pancreatic pain. Women are in general more prone to SOD, as to other functional disorders, they suppose that this is because of the hormones.
