Were you tested for coeliac? Other than that ultrasounds and CT are probably on the cards if you haven't had them already. Good that bloods are normal. Did you have a CA125 blood test?

Not trying to frighten you, it could be many benign things. Eliminate those first.

@CordyLines I haven't been tested for celiac .. but I have had ultrasounds and the CA125 and that was negative .. I haven't had a CT scan either .. gallbladder was fine .. my GP is baffled.. said it up the gastro but I'm on the waiting list to be seen

I hope you get some relief very soon. Since you haven't been tested for it yet, coeliac is a good ask now. Best of luck.
