Q After enteritis I alternate between abdominal pain and diarrhea, but my endoscopy came back clean. Can I still get better?
A Even with normal test results, the gut may be in a hypersensitive functional state. Functional bowel problems without structural damage are an area where Korean medicine is especially helpful.
Detailed Answer
If diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bloating recur even though colonoscopy and blood tests are normal, residual visceral hypersensitivity after enteritis or an imbalance in gut flora are likely causes. Functional problems that are not structural damage don't show up on tests, but the actual discomfort can feel very severe.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine has long experience addressing functional imbalances that tests don't detect. The goal is to restore harmony of bowel function and calm visceral hypersensitivity, reducing the discomfort you actually feel.
