What Does My Lab Test Report Indicate?
I had have a Ct, Ultrasound, signmoidoscopy, and ballon expulsion - all which came back normal with the exception of Intestinal malrotation. My blood work came back with my Lipase level as High. I also completed a sitz marker test that I failed - on day 5 I still had all 24 rings throughout. My doctor is referring me to another GI doc in the city because he doesn t know what to do. I continue to have stomach pain, bathroom issues, and fatigue. I am so frustrated on what to do next.

Hello,
Intestinal malrotation can become symptomatic and cause pain due to obstruction, spasm or mesenteric infarction.
Lipase is usually raised in cases of pancreatitis. I suggest you consult your GI specialist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
