Hello,

It is good to hear that you have done an endoscopy. Apart from this,
I would like to suggest you some tests:
1. Liver Function Test
2. Serum amylase
3. Stool examination
4. Complete Blood Count
5. Lipid Profile
6. Barium Study

I would like to ask:
1. In which portion of the abdomen it pains?
2. When it pains?
3. Is the pain related to meal taken?
4. How is the pain, stabbing, dull, severe, moderate?
5. Is there burning sensation after or before meal?

If you burning sensation or chest pain/tightness, please take
Omeprazole, antacid

Frequent bowel movement take enough water,
Can take Vitamin supplements, especially B12.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
