Severe postprandial abdominal pain, all tests clear. Need direction!

It sounds like mesenteric ischemia. You need to see a vascular doctor ASAP. It can be life threatening. My mother in law had this and my husband.
There are 3 main arteries that deliver blood to your intestines. My husband has stenosis in two of them.
It is a very rare condition and most GI docs and Emergency doctors always miss the diagnosis.
Pain after eating is the number one symptom.
There is a Facebook group for Mesenteric Ischemia UK based.
Please get your arteries checked. Main tests are an ultrasound to measure velocity of blood flow and a CT scan with contrast that looks specifically at the arteries.

@katemu CT and ultrasound can help with diagnosis…don’t delay.
