Many thanks for your reply

Hi Liam. Pain on its own with no other symptoms can be difficult to diagnose. The specific location may make it more likely to be a intestinal problem. Of course, we cannot say for sure through an online platform. As you can see from the article, there is many possible causes. Sometimes it could be as innocuous as trapped gas. However, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Seek a second opinion. Maybe consult with a gastroenterologist and if necessary undergo further diagnostic investigations to be sure there is no undelying problem that may not be detectable with an ultrasound.

Hi Adriene. The problem here is that the current symptoms could be an entirely separate condition and not associated with your C-section and tubal ligation 3 years ago. Of course, it could be related and in may therefore be a good idea to report these symptoms to your gynecologist. You do not mention any gynecological conditions previously and the pain could be related to adhesions or possibly some other abdominal condition. It is difficult to say for sure. Speak to your family doctor again for a referral to a gynecologist. If there are no significant findings you may also want to follow up with a gastroenrologist or urologist.

Hi Suzanne. Acute pancreatitis usually does lead to high blood glucose levels as the secretion of insulin (which reduces blood glucose levels) is impaired. Insulin is produced and secreted from pancreas. Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition and needs to be properly treated and managed. Your doctor will advise you further based on the result of the relevant diagnostic investigations.

My glucose levels were thru the roof recently as my Dr finally is paying attention to me also hemoglobin was off the charts. I have MRI and ultra sounds coming up for acute pancreatitis.

Hi Suzanne. Some of your symptoms are definitely a cause for concern and it is possible that there are multiple conditions occurring simultaneously. An upper GI endoscopy and possibly a colonoscopy is highly advisable. This should be done by a gastroenterologist. Ask your doctor for a referral to a gastroenterologist is possible. Symptoms like bloating, excessive gas and abdominal pain may occur with various different digestive conditions. The light stool may point towards liver and/or gallbladder problems. A gastroenterologist will advise you accordingly.
