What Causes Pain In The Abdomen?

Hi,
You should have your amylase or lipase measured, and probably be referred to a gastroenterologist for consultation. A gastroscopy with ultrasound of your pancreas would also likely be indicated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Anders Mark Christensen
