I have just returned from seeing a gastroenterologist for my stomach issues I've mentioned repeatedly before.

After explaining the happenings of the last 10 years to her, along with all the symptoms, she was able to get an idea of where to start looking. She said that if I didn't have the back pain that usually accompanies the mass exodus, it would probably just be IBS. But since there's more than just IBS-like symptoms, and because of where the back pain is, she's thinking it's something to do with the pancreas.

Thus, I am being scheduled for another CT scan next week, this time of my abdominal area. She said that it would involve being injected with and drinking some dye, the latter of which I'm not exactly looking forward to. However, after talking with her, I am feeling pretty good about finding a solution.
