Persistent gas

2019-08-14 08:39:41
I have persistent gas in my abdominal area. My stool test has shown RBC 0-1, and pus cells - 3-4 with no blood in stool. What are the next steps I should take? Doctor advised ultrasound and stool culture. Does this help finding what is the issue that's causing gassiness? Should I go for CT scan instead of ultrasound? Please advice.

Rbc in stools is a cause of concern. Bloating in ABDOMEN can have Various Possible causes. Need DETAILED history. Ct scan is of very limited benefit.
