Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
I really understand your concern and agony through which you are undergoing.

Features suggestive of Intestinal TB include abdominal pain & distension, fever, constipation, weight loss, loss of appetite, there may be a swelling in the right lower abdomen.

In addition to ESR, CBC, Chest and abdominal x rays, Mantoux test additional investigation like Barium meal follow through study are done to diagnose the suspected case of Intestinal TB.

You are advised to consult a physician or gastro enterologist for proper evaluation and the treatment.

Wishing you best of your health.
