have you checked for PID?
that is a symptom, you might want to look into, esp if you have lower back pain as well (you mentioned chiropracter)
good luck and feel better.
I asked your opinion on if parasite could be likely based on massage and chiropractor experiences I described. I did not get an answer on this?
You have had a pretty comprehensive evaluation for your symptoms. I agree that the CT scan would be a reasonable next test.
If there is concern about parasites and other colonic infections, stool tests to evaluate for ova, parasites and bacteria can be done. A colonoscopy can also be done to evaluate for colitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
If the tests and CT scan continue to be negative, irritable bowel disease can be considered - and appropriate treatment considered.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician, or in conjunction with a GI physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.

I also feel less hungry which is likely due in part to the pain but there also seems to be a bloateed feeling which I have even prior to todays endoscopy.
also was found to have oral herpes about 9 months ago. after the first few months I have no symptoms and do not take any medication. Is this a possibility for the abdominal pain that shoudl be investigated? All other std tests were negative
