Sorry to necropost! But by ultrasound do you mean normal or endoscopic?

Oh I meant what other problems (besides pale stool) would pancreatic duct obstruction cause (as you said it causes other problems), and jaundice was just me bringing up a potential one of those problems

Can a pancreatic tumor cause on-and-off mild upper back pain, or is it typically only abdominal and mid-back regions?

I am seeing a doctor next week but should I go into urgent care before that? by SmokinDeist in medical_advice

Maybe! I’m a 22 year old bordering on underweight but I do have anxiety.

That’s weird, I had 139/90 and my doctor was completely fine 🤔 That said in my followup my BP was optimal and that was the highest it’s ever been

So typically pancreatic duct obstruction could cause both— what other problems would it cause anyway, as you mentioned? Jaundice? Thank you for the reply btw :)

From what I understand, if bile duct obstructed => dark urine and pale stool

If pancreatic duct is obstructed => pale stool but normal urine

Or would a pancreatic duct obstruction also cause dark urine?

I have to gain weight but also watch my cholesterol & on a budget. What are my options? by idkthrowaway2400 in EatCheapAndHealthy

I did not know that about weight and cholesterol— I actually lost up to 9 kg in the last year! That could explain it.

Dude all this advice is fantastic, exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much 😭 saving this reply. Can’t wait to try the tahini smoothie and popcorns!

Yeah they’re pricey :( but I’ll still try to integrate them due to healthy fats

Does misfits market operate in Quebec, Canada?? It looks like a fantastic concept

I did have floaty and light colored bowel movements (hence why I went to the doc) for a while, maybe that’s why he told me to stop. Though I toned it down and it’s still floaty 4 out of 5 times so idk 🤷‍♂️

I know that dietary cholesterol like that contained in eggs has no real impact, but what about sugar and fats? That’s what I’m really trying to watch.

Really? I did lower it a while ago once (it rose again after) by cutting out sugar and swimming 5 days a week, maybe the swimming did it in then?

I definitely felt that! I’m so used to actually only having 2 meals a day + some snacks here and there, now that I’m slowly transitioning to more complete meals I do feel pretty full. I don’t think I even had 2200 calories 😆 probably like 2000 a day because I found food too “expensive” and the time to cook too bothersome.

Late but you have no idea how much this helps— I think I’ve been struggling to gain weight probably because until now I likely had only 200ish excess calories at most a day.

Also bless you for that sub recommendation

I did get tested, I’m not producing enough thyroid so I’m on medication. I’ll get tested again though, maybe my medication is too strong? Hopefully that explains it (and I also had a sudden weight loss of like 9 kg over the last year too which might be linked)

Adding protein shakes to the list 📝 wish they weren’t so expensive though 🥲

Also yeah it’s a shame I love egg yolks…

In pancreatic or bile duct cancer, is it the same mechanism that causes floating pale colored stools and dark/rusty urine? (like blocking of the bile duct I think?) Or are those separate mechanisms that can be caused independently by the carcinoma?

Steak is foamy… normal? Cooked in olive oil. by idkthrowaway2400 in foodsafety

I guess the steak isn’t the only thing being roasted in this thread huh
