A member asked:
Having problems with my stomach rlq. ct shows large appendix but no infection or inflammation what could it be? recently diagnosed with b12 deficiency

Ileum: There is a valve which connect the small bowel to the large bowel called the ileocecal valve. You could have a spasm there that would not show up on scan. B12 defiency could be an absorption problem. You should see a good GI doc.
