Hi all, thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I have now had a colonoscopy, Gastroscopy, MRI scans, Pill Cam which have all come back clear. I have stopped eating anything spicy, fatty, heavy, fruit and veg, meat fiber and over sugary foods and my overall stomach discomfort has greatly improved, however my pain, vomiting, alternating loose bowel movements and constipation, feeling weak and dizzy are still here. Any suggestions how to proceed, especially as my latest stool tests came back with slightly raised calprotectin level suggesting minor inflammation. In addition I sometimes get extreme pains around my ribs

Hi Joha, I'm going through something very similar, nobody seems to be able to figure out what is wrong. I started with my pains 2 years ago I am 28 years old now, they thought it was my gallbladder so they took it out (I had the operation in October 2021) and the pains and vomiting are now more frequent are more intense, the pains before my gallbladder got removed appeared once a week approximately and now I get 5/6 episodes a day. I have also had numerous CAR, MRI, Colonoscopy, Gastroscopy and many other tests and same as you they come back either negative or with mild inflammation, sorry I can't help, however, if I do get a diagnosis I will be sure to contact you to try and give you answers.

Sounds like chronic pancreatitis that has been missed.
