Pale stool, abdominal & back pain
I started having abdominal pain 3 weeks back along with back pain. The abdominal pain is in upper mid area and under left ribcage along with mid and left back pain.
Then bowel issues started. It's been 2 weeks now, my stools are getting lighter in color. From brown to yellow to lightish yellow to whitish yellow. I am getting acidity everyday. I have pantaprazole every morning since 4 days, still no relief.
I am scared of it it being related to pancreas, it is pancreatic cancer scare?
Pale coloured stools can be seen in obstructive jaundice . Tests needed now are Liver function test and ultrasound abdomen .
Don't panic same time don't neglect
