He poops plenty, lol. It's not his tummy, as in his stomach, but his entire abdomen. His explanation of the pain: sharp stabbing pains around the belly button. On the left and right sides it feels like he's been punched repeatedly. From the bottom of his rib cage to about 2 inches below his belly button, it's general discomfort with occasional pain. If he moves too quickly, or going over bumps in the road while driving, his innards move all around causing more discomfort/pain. He has rebound pain when pushing into his abdomen and letting go quickly.
If it was as easy as pooping more, we'd have solved this after the first week. Since July 7th this has been going on, with 3 trips to the hospital (with 3 CT scans, and 1 four-day stay), and numerous doctor visits, and now procedures. My guess is the colonoscopy will find more acid issues. Who knows what else.
