Hubby recently had ultrsound and full blood tests to try to identify back pain (pancreas area) and all test came back fine. Ultrasound checked pancreas, kidneys, liver, gallbladder and spleen and no issues were detected. 

Pain in back continues and gets worse with certain foods, he is now restricted to fruit, yoghurt, macadamia nuts and coconut. Everything else increases the pain. Pain is always there now but is at least tolerable if foods are restricted to the above mentioned. His hands periodically become yellow although no gallstones or obstruction showed in ultrasound.

Would an MRI or CT Scan likely show up something that the ultrasound didn't that may be causing the pain?

The GP thought then that it might be spinal but couldn't account for why food would effect the pain if it was spinal.

Any thoughts?
