Enteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate self-explanatory history.
To recapitulate: Female/33 - problem started 5 weeks ago with occasional abdominal pain - cramping in right upper quadrant - 3 weeks - BM paler sort of a XXXXXXX very light brown color - mild reddish blood sometimes - normal liver function tests - 2 weeks loose watery stool - little tenderness - very noisy - more gas - hunger prangs even after food - health anxiety - wants professional opinion ...
With this history I would think this as a case of enteritis and would advise you the following:
Get the stool tests done for 3 consecutive days.
If there is evidence of an infection get a clinical evaluation, examination and further tests like ultrasonography and other blood and urine tests.
I feel a course of an antibiotic along with probiotic should solve your problem- needs a prescription of your Doctor.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper an an early diagnosis and proper curative treatment, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.


Stool get a clay color.

Pain within an hour of eating needs to be investigated by Upper GI endoscopy and get EUS that is endoscopic ultrasound which has high resolution. Along with the routine ultrasound of the abdomen.
Further studies can be done if there is clinical and lab tests supporting the possible cause as you have mentioned. GGT and Alkaline phosphatase are very sensitive and raise up. If these are normal, there is less chance of obstruction to the bile flow.
In addition MRCP and CT scan of the whole abdomen helps in some cases to confirm or rule out some of the problems.


Go for the tests as explained above.

Thanks for an appreciation.
Considering the whole history together the feeling remains the same and as for the pain after one hour of food can be due to the factors as I explained above.
