End of my road

I contacted the doctor. He is referring me to ANOTHER G.I. "specialist". I don't have much hope that he will do anything for me.

You're having a new pain and you already said it's not good. Listen to your body and instincts and see whichever doctor you need to as soon as possible. That's my suggestion anyway, hope you're okay, but pain is never a good sign.

Have you had an MRI and/or Cat Scan? I'm somewhat a fan of watching these doctor shows on the Discovery Life and TLC channels, and am amazed at the number of people with ongoing issues that the doctors can't seem to diagnose...Until they perform a complete scan. These scans often show hard to diagnose internal growths, and even Parasites that are destroying the person's health. These scan technologies have improved substantially in recent years, and are far more reliable than a doctors "best guess".

Traveler, why are you ingesting 4,000 calories each day?!

Because if I don't consume that many calories I will waste away to nothing. On any "normal" diet, I was losing 2 - 3 lbs/week.

Honestly, I just don't remember if I had a MRI for the bowels. I think I had one just prior to the removal of my gall bladder but that was for "stones". I know I've had 3 invasive tests: endoscopy into stomach, colonoscopy, and I had to swallow a huge horse pill that was actually a camera which took photos of my entire system (special electronic belt was attached until I passed that big pill. )

I've had a dozen of more blood tests, numerous stool sample tests. Everything always comes back negative.

Truly, I'm beginning to think my system is just plain worn-out. One thing is for sure, I'm tired of fighting it.
 
The Pancreas is a flat organ which is behind the stomach, pain feels like stomach but is actually the pancreas, my pain was high stomach area but at times felt like all over and before I went to an emergency clinic (it was a weekend) I could barely stand, walk or keep anything down even water.

Clostridium Difficile, get checked for it, specifically. A fecal transplant, from someone who is healthy, can cure it, overnight. Do your own research. Good luck!

I just watched a program called NOVA Wonders- What's Living In You (5/2/18) S1 E2 using my On Demand feature on my Comcast cable. It's a fascinating program. Towards the end they had someone that took poop pills that did exactly what you mention for some serious diarrhea problem.
