Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You can see physician(internal medicine) doctor for it. Apart from colonoscopy you can get high resolution CT scan and ultrasound of abdoman and chest to know abdominal and chest related causes. You can get your vitamin D level to exclude vitamin D deficiency. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
