Sugary food seems to create a hyperactive reaction of sorts. But even a cold beer does. Possible insulin or glucose spike. GP appointment this week to test. No diabetes yet

I’m still eating most foods as the loose motions come either way. But coffee, in particular expresso can cause an urgent need.
My search began in June 2023 when I had an operation on my hand.
My surgeon was concerned about my blood pressure which spiked during the operation.
I had a heart stress test and many blood tests in the following months.
I suffer from diverticulitis and was also having repeated bouts.
After the third bout in two months my doctor ordered a CT scan.
The radiologist mentioned a lump was a possible carcinoma.
It turns out that the bowel inflammation was caused by the carcinoma and inflammation in my appendix.
I had a colonoscopy in April 2023 that didn’t see anything.
Blood tests were normal
A urine analysis showed elevated seratonin

@ant12,

It seems as if the CT scan led to the discovery of the NETs and that was a result of the diverticulitis. Is my understanding correct?

Given your reaction to sugars and high carb foods and drinks, you might consider asking for a glucose tolerance test to see how sugar affects your blood sugar. This type of test is best done in a well-controlled setting. Mine was done in a clinic where I was laying down during the entire testing period and I was given glucose to drink and then blood tests were drawn periodically.

Has this type of test been done already?
