What I thought were a sudden onset of sever food allergies seems to be possible pancreatic tumor

I'm so glad i found this post! I'm new to this and very scared. I am a 38 y/o female that has had an onset of very strange symptoms. I initially thought i was having a latent allergic response to red sauce. S/s: out of nowhere I will feel like im going to pass out, get diaphoretic, lose all my color- literally turn yellow like syncope... and have projectile vomiting/diarrhea... these episodes can last anywhere from 40 minutes to several hours. The last several episodes also brought along severe itching- like the first time with itching it was my scalp. More recently its been my hands and feet. I initially thought I must be having an allergic reaction- and its getting worse. My NP thought it sounded like GI anaphalaxis. I chose to go to an allergist because it seemed to always happen 24 hours after eating a red sauce. The allergist was quick to shoot that down, no doubtedly telling me I had carcinoid syndrome- and sending me to a GI doc. He said because I had flushing in my hands and feet- not hives, this was a concern. I went to the GI doc the next day. I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy they said looked great except for a growth outside the major pappila- (doudenoum). The doc that performed the E/C said it looks like a lipoma but my ordering doc may want to get a closer look. Sure enough, he did. Due to having such weird symptoms he said he needs to do a EUS- that obviously a lipoma doesnt come with s/s. Ive had tons of labs all coming back normal, including 24 hour urine/stool sample, pancreatic and bile labs. The concern of course is the ampulla of vader. Also where the growth correlates with. I have my EUS with biopsy scheduled this upcoming Friday and need all the good vibes and prayers. I have a 4 y/o little girl that needs her mommy. My BM's have changed this past year going from very constipated to loose stool... the sudden attacks with avengence are something entirely different, all together.
