Ct abdomen scan with contrast and swallow. nothing wrong but my upper abdomen still feels very tight. ideas ?had gastritis took carafate (sucralfate) and felt fine

Gastroenterology: Ct is great for seeing the abdominal organs but not the best at examining the lining of the stomach or intestine in conditions like gastritis. I would recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist.
