So finally got the endoscopy done. Good news mostly. No ischemic or necrotic bowel or cancerous lumps/bumps/diverticulitis. It's all stomach acid. I've had ulcers -mostly untreated- since I was 20 or so so that's not really a surprise. No active bleeds, but lots of clots that show they were recently bleeding and/or perforated. That would explain the pain. And the black poop.


Not really much to look at. Not perfect, and you can see some of the pockmarked scars and the blood clots/scabs.
No treatment really. Change up some of the antacids and some new pill to coat my stomach so it can heal. Explains why the pain went away suddenly when the perforations healed over and the acid stopped leaking out. A month waiting for an answer I didn't even really need anymore. It's done and on to the next thing.
