Hello and thanks for posting,

Unfortunately, this forum is not really meant for people with symptoms, as we cannot suggest a diagnosis or give a medical opinion. We will always suggest that you consult your GP if you have health concerns. 

Most symptoms in people who are younger than middle age for example, do not turn out to be anything serious such as cancer, and have more straightforward medical explanations. Do speak further with your nurse as they can explain what they want to do, in terms of tests.The ultrasound will also show if there are any areas of concern. It sounds like you will need to alter your daily diet, and this might have a beneficial effect on your stomach symptoms.

I hope that it goes well for you,

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
