Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

Mostly diagnosis of Abdominal Tuberculosis is based on Clinical, USG, CECT Abdomen.
If you have ascites also, then ascitic fluid examination can also tell us that it is TB or not.
It's not about stretching the case, it is all about making a perfect diagnosis.
So, this is what is required.
Get tested, be sure and get perfectly treated.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
