I am a 29 yr old female with a question.
I went to ER for abdominal pain I'd had for a couple weeks. My gallbladder ultrasound was negative. All the blood tests were too. The pain is in center of upper abdomen and I've had reflux too. I was dxd with GERD nine years ago but rarely have issues. At the ER that night they did a CT and found thickening in my colon. I've also had bowel issues lately (urge to go suddenly, going more often, constipation and sometimes diarrhea.) they said I probably had colitis abd gave me meds for that.
The gi I went to wants to do endoscopy to check my esophagus for damage and then said we should probably do a colonoscopy because they found the thickening.
I'm nervous. I'm feeling better since starting the Gerd meds she gave me.
Is it possible nothing is going on? Or does it mean something Is definitely going on? We have strong family history of colon cancer.
