Accepted Answer
Dear XXXXXXX, It is likely that your problem is connected to your kidney,probably the right one.This is the reason for the pain in the right groin,which travels to the upper back/Renal angle where the kidney is located.Nephritis or infection of the kidney is often associated with increased acidity,nausea and vomiting.The loose stools and pain in the lower back could be related to IBS/Malabsorption Syndrome since your colonoscopy and tests are normal.I would suggest a urine examination and culture and sensitivity,as also BUN and Serum Creatinine.Liver function tests will help clear the doubt about fatty liver,and also eliminate other doubts like Hepatitis -B.Please discuss these points with your doctor/PCP.
