in 2009 i had ryun y gastric bypass and was totally fine until 2017 when a started having problems after meals as well as chronic constipation. egd and colonoscopy good. what can an mri mrcp show? will it show stomach and small and large intestines?

Accepted Answer

MRI MRCP: This study will not visualize the stomach and intestinal tract. It is to visualize the liver,gall bladder, bile ducts, pancreas, and pancreatic duct. Unlike an ERCP, it is noninvasive and is not used to relieve obstructing lesions like stones or strictures.

Question 3

what would cause burning pain thats unreal if colonoscopy came back good i do have internal hemorrhoids but not sure if that would be cause the burning on my upper somtach could it be ulcer or small intestine cause it ?

Accepted Answer

: Colonoscopy does not detect causes of burning in your upper stomach- just the large intestine. For these symptoms could be due to many conditions eg indigestion, stomach and esophageal conditions. Check with your doc or GI.

Question 4

what cause burning that start in the lower stomach and rise to the upper somtach most of the time after meals about 2 hours after or after bowel movement burn pain gets really bad done a ct and colonoscopy about to get a endscopy been taking almed?

Accepted Answer

: Your symptoms sound as though they are likely to be in the upper digestive tract, suggesting a problem with his stomach or esophagus. It is appropriate to proceed with endoscopy if there is no response to medication that reduces acid in the stomach. Your gastroenterologist should be able to narrow down the cause of your symptoms. Good luck.

Question 5

last night up and down most of night with stomach ache but normal bowel movements 3 times.
does this sound like ibs even with the normal movement.
ive had good colonoscopy and good yelp blood test. today wiped out no energy i just cause no sleep.
sh?

Accepted Answer

: If you were sick last night with abdominal pain, three bowel movements and lack of sleep, it is normal if you feel wiped out today at your age.
You probably ate something wrong with your dinner, IBS should not behave that way. 
Do not worry too much because anxiety and IBS have some causal relationship.

Question 6

i just went to bathroom and water was red but bowel movement was green no stomach ache when i went didnt see blood in stool at all should i contact my doctor ? i had colonoscopy last year

Accepted Answer

Not a bad idea: It sounds like your urine turned red and stool green with no other symptoms. Letting your doc know might help in designing a plan going forward.

Question 7

every morning wake up with a little stomach pain 
have a couple normal bowel movements.  little later have another movement of flakes and pieces.
is this my ibs thats not bothered me in awhile.
just had good colonoscopy and good yearly blood work?

Accepted Answer

: Given your normal colonoscopy, this may be your IBS. It does not sound serious.

Question 8

if chronic gastritis can lead to metaplasia of the stomach into intestinal membrane, could it draw water and cause constip. undetect. by colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

No: The intestinal metaplasia is a trivial finding and won't have the slightest impact compared with the enormous amount of real intestine you already have. Further, water absorption in the gut is passive. Most diagnosed "chronic gastritis" non-biopsy-proved is functional and unassociated with metaplasia in the first place. Look for some other cause of your constipation; consider diet / drinking h2o

Question 9

low stomach pain possibly bowel  issues! i have ibs. dr couldn't do colonoscopy due to a narrowing so i had barium enama instead. no cancer so nothing?

Accepted Answer

Maybe diverticulosis: If they were unable to get through for a colonoscopy, it could be diverticular disease (this should have been in your barium enema report if true, so ask you doctor.
If so, that can cause discomfort. So can constipation, which may be related to the narrowing. Increase fiber and fluids. Acacia fiber is better tolerated in ibs than other fibers, can be ordered online if not available near you.

Question 10

hearburn and urge to have bowel movement soon after eating. gastroscopy into stomach clear and colonoscopy clear. very fatigued. any clues what to do?

Accepted Answer

Start with a: comprehensive medical evaluation to exclude underlying diseases causing fatigue: anemia, hypothyroidism, liver, kidney, heart disease, etc. Symptomatic treatment of the heartburn with antacids, avoidance of spicy foods, OTC H2 blockers or PPIs may help. The urgent BM sounds like Irritable Bowel and should respond to dietary fiber, fluids, exercise, stress reduction..a comprehensive approach:)
