question: I have been having abdominal pain, fatty bowel movements and nausea for about a month now and had similar issues last year around the same time. I had many tests done last year and nothing was conclusive. The morning is the worst. I wake up at almost the same time everyday - between 3 and 5 am - with pain and get some relief when I go to the bathroom. The doctor thinks I have the stomach flu and the stress is a factor. I did some research and Pancreatitis fits my symptoms. My Triglycerides aren't high (152) but my LDL is 181. Also my WBC has been a little elevated for several years (14.1). My doctor started me on Lovastatin for my high cholesterol, but it caused my stomach symptoms to be worse, so she said to stop taking it. I'm not sure what to do and fear that no one takes me seriously because I suffer from OCD which exaggerates the symptoms at times. Could it be Pancreatitis?
