Hi @sallycinnamon and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like you have been going through a very rough time for the last 20 years. I can personally sympathize with you as I went a very long time without a diagnosis for abdominal pain as well. It can be very overwhelming to wake up and not have answers and be in such discomfort.

I'd like to invite @gaylea1, @2011panc, @patowen1 @ashley112689, @mkirby19 @marvinjsturing, @shayshay, @ab1989, @carcar @mel1987 @cat4cards @giango87and @kimh to the conversation to discuss problems with the pancreas, mesenteric panniculitis, redundant colon and gall bladder issues.

Sally, do you or your physician believe that your symptoms are not caused by the mesenteric panniculitis, which include abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, bloating, early satiety, loss of appetite and diarrhea and constipation?
