THIS IS A MEDICAL MYSTERY I NEED HELP?

QUESTION:

I went in today to see a Gastro specialist to get an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure done to find out what was wrong with me in my G.I. tract. I was diagnosed with Helicobacter Pylori about a year ago and i was treated with PREVPAC. I kept having the same symptoms of nausea, stomach pain and an episode of tarry stools aproximately two months ago. I thought for sure i was gonna get a for sure answer today from the specialist to see what was wrong with me but the results came back as "normal". I just don't understand why did i have so much abdominal pain and why did the results come out to be normal?

JOHNNYDOLLAR ANSWERS:

I had this same problem 6 years ago. And I'm a doctor! I was diagnosed with IBS, which is a catch-all, and a doctors way of saying, "I don't know." I ran an EGD and a colonoscopy on myself to no avail. Then, a simple x-ray found the problem. When I was 4 years old I had swallowed a micro machine toy. It had slowly made it's way down and gotten logged in my lower intestine. I remember it quite well. It was a 1967 Chevelle SS. Cherry red. I have yet to pass it, but I've been building an extensive track for whenever it does arrive.

I am 100% sure you have the same problem, only with a 1971 T-Bird.
