I am in a simular situation. I have severe upper right quad pain attacks(front and back), that can last from 1 hr to a week or two. It is always present but worse at times, but much worse if my rib cage is touched or pressed on. No correlation to dietary intake. I am thin, atheletic fit and in my early 30's. Abdom. ultrasound revealed thickened gallbladder, but no stones. I have a cat scan tomorrow and another scan in 3 days. Blood work has elevated pancreatic protien levels, but not sky high, my CBC has been slightly off since 12/07, but again not crazy. Frequent nausea, diarrhea for months, lack of energy, and frequently a strange taste, but no indigestion. Any clues? This has been a really long haul, almost a year now.

Hi,
How are you doing right now? I have soemwhat similar sympthoms and niether bloodwork (gallbladder, pancrease, liver, kidneys) nor imaging (nuclear, US, MRI, CT, colono- and gastro- scopies) helped to diagnose the condition. I have right top abdomen pain, some nausea and metal taste in the mouth.
