My docs don’t seem concerned about the hepatomegaly or steatosis because they are mild and there is no inflammation or anything else that would indicate fatty liver disease or anything like that and I trust them. I went to my GI appointment and since I have tried so many things she didn’t have much to offer me except a 24 hr pH study to see how much of the pain is reflux related which I would need a more recent upper endoscopy to do. I haven’t done them yet for financial reasons but I will consider them. We concluded that the stomach pain that is not explained by the gastritis, IBS, and GERD is from functional abdominal pain. She referred me to a doc at another GI clinic who specializes in functional disorders. My appointment with her is in about a month. In the meantime I’m working to improve my stress management and doing gentle abdominal massage every morning and night. It helps with the pain and is very effective for reducing constipation and diarrhea. It’s not a cure but it’s remarkably effective and the pain is worse when I forget to do it. Plus it just feels nice. Because I know the issue is functional rather than anatomical I feel okay about gentle pressure especially considering the CT scan said there was no inflammation. I’m also in school for massage therapy which has greatly helped me feel more comfortable in my body and using massage as a form of healing and stress relief.
