I have been having pain in upper and lower left abdomin. Also passing bloody mucus with and without stool. Severely vitamin D deficient. Had colonoscopy. It was normal. Had lower abdominal CT scan it was normal. The pain is getting worse especially the upper left abdomin. What do I do next?

hi. This looks to be due to colitis which may be missed easily on many investigation.
I would advise such a patient to repeat colonoscopy when in pain or passing blood and mucus.
A course of an antibiotic with metronidazple as a trial ca n help to rule out infection as a cause.
Add Vit D and Vit A supplements.
