Hello @medic_simmons
Welcome to Mayo Connect. I appreciate your question regarding your digestive problems. I applaud you for being such a good advocate for your own health care. It is obvious that you have been persistent and proactive in seeking a solution and that is one of most important factors in resolving health issues.
While we are not medical professionals at Mayo Connect, perhaps someone else will be able to identify with some or all of your symptoms and offer some suggestions. I see that you are planning to go to Mayo to seek answers if your ERCP does not provide you with answers. That is definitely a good plan.
Since you have indicated this problem is new to you, I have a couple of questions, is there any family history of digestive problems? Have you considered food allergies? Have you ever kept a food/activity journal to see if there are any triggers to your symptoms? While you do not mention your age, I'm assuming that you are a younger person based on your picture.
Have you recently had any unusual stressors, changes in lifestyles, moves, etc.?
I look forward to hearing from you again and I hope that you soon find a resolution.
Teresa

Your "overthinking" is certainly understandable! You have a very limited diet and that must be difficult - are you able to work and be active with such a limited food intake?

No. I have been off work since mid December. I can barely unload the dishwasher without having to stop because of pain.
I know this is gonna sound weired but does it somtimes feel like you got rocks in your stomach

There is no family history of any digestive or GI problems. I’m not sure about food allergies because it seems to be pretty much everything I eat besides jello, crackers, and toast. I am only 29, I will turn 30 on Saturday. The on;y recent stressors I can think of is me overthinking everything that is going on with me. Before this suddenly came on the 1st night back in December everything was fine! That’s why it’s so frustrating to me and my team of doctors that we are having such a hard time figuring it out.
