Fecolith or a mass, best to get the proper diagnosis asap.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted an elucidate history, your understanding, trial with diet and all and understood the concerns.
First of all it is very unlikely that you can have palpable pancreas, it never is without the most severe symptoms hence out of question unless proved otherwise.
Hence the possible causes of palpable and mildly tender mass in the area you have mentioned.
Fecolith impaction in the transverse colon.
Mass in colon.
Mass of stomach, rare.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Since there is a definite mass, it is best to get the exact diagnosis as soon as possible to get assured and plan proper management.
Pain X-ray of abdomen in standing position can tell about fecal load/ fecoliths in colon. And is present a proper laxative and soap and water enema in a conventional way can help you the best to get rid of the fecoliths and the mass.
If something else is suspected, contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen, colonoscopy and/or upper GI Endoscopy should give the best possible diagnosis and a plan for further management.
Continue with your diet plan, but more important is to get to the correct diagnosis asap.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communications.
Thanks for your appreciation.
